What is the central idea of what do you want (really, really want) out of your college education?

The central idea of the article is that education is not just for getting a job and getting lots of income. It could also be used as a means to examine ourselves and try to find out what constitutes true happiness to our lives.

Explanation:

The informational text "What Do You Want (Really, Really Want) Out of Your College Education?" by Richard Gunderman talks about the life of academics and then jobs and getting lots of money. But despite this "success" of getting a high paying job, sometimes there can be no happiness in one's work. And it is things like this that constitutes the very essence of a person's worth and meaning in life.

Of course jobs are a required necessity for an educated person to work to pay off his educational debts. But that does not mean doing what one doesn't love. The author states that "the true worth of a college education" is the "realization that the purpose of college is not merely to prepare for a job or career". It is more than that. It helps us "find our path in life", and "discover what it means to live, and to develop habits that make life truly worth living". Only then will our lives be well lived and we are happy with what we do. At the end of the day, happiness trumps over any financial gain.

one thousand and one nights, also called the arabian nights is a collection of middle eastern tales compiled in arabic during the islamic golden age, dated from the 8th to the 14th century. this collection was compiled of largely middle eastern and indian stories with an uncertain date and autorship whose tales such as aladdin, ali baba and sinbad the sailor -these ones were the most popular ones, the ones that have almost become part of western folklore.

as in much medieval european literature, the stories contained in this collection are set within a frame story. its scene is central asia, as known as "the islands or peninsulae of india and china", where king shahryar kills his wife after discovering her infidelities and as well as any other who betrayed him.   then, loathing all womankind, he marries and kills his new wife each day until no more candidates could have been found. his vizier had two daughters, scheherezade and dunyazad. the elder one -scheherezade- having devised a scheme to save herself and the others insisted that her father needed to give her in marriage to the king. each evening, she used to tell a story leaving it incomplete and promising to finish it the following night. the stories kept the king very interested, so eager to hear evey ending of each story, that he puts off her execution from day to day and finally he decided to give up with his plan. these stories are contained within the collection of 1001 nights, the bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is usually used for songs and riddles to express better the heightened emotion of them.
