Similar to what the article says, college is in many ways a proving ground. Not so much what you take (except in a very general sense, unless you're going into specialized hard science fields) but how well you do, how rigorous of a courseload you chose for yourself, your final GPA, what extracurriculars you engaged in. High school is for teaching you the skills you *need* to navigate the world, college is there to help prove your ability to be dynamic, which is the most valued skill of basically any employer outside the skilled trades.
