Can the process of choosing a college degree program be likened to following a recipe in the kitchen?
Well, consider a simple recipe: a list of ingredients + assembly instructions = finished dish.
If it were that simple, however, everyone would be a great cook. And, as you know from your last potluck (or, ahem, dinner at your in-laws’), that is most certainly not the case.
Why, even with fast-fix, no-cook or from-the-pantry recipes, there’s usually a two- or three-ingredient minimum.
By its very nature, a recipe is a formula for putting together a series of ingredients. For a recipe to qualify as a success, however, the cook must take that variety of ingredients and combine them into something wonderfully cohesive and complete.
