We're here not only to get an education for ourselves but also to serve the world. I hear a lot of people complain about how college is such a selfish time of life, and how they're picking a major and getting an education just for themselves, but that is absolutely false! No matter what you get your degree in, you have potential to use your strengths to be more than yourself and serve those around you. You have the opportunity to change to a service mindset.
How can you use your college education to serve?
Mosiah 2:17 "And behold, I tell you these things that ye may learn wisdom; that ye may learn that when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God"
"Our education should be such as to improve our minds and fit us for increased usefulness; to make us of greater service to the human family." -Brigham Young
