What's the weirdest thing you've heard someone say about college?

My BFF's daughter is considering graduating with her BS and then going and working IN HER FIELD OF STUDY for a couple of years to see if she even needs a MS, and if she does, what some of the other options are; AND she may find a job that will pay for her masters (it's a specialized field of study); AND she has a standing job offer due to an internship she did, that she absolutely loved. The advisor at school told her that "a gap year is ok," but that she REALLY needed to go straight into a master's program if she wanted to be successful. ISN'T THE ENTIRE POINT OF GETTING YOUR BACHELOR'S DEGREE TO GET A JOB??? I hardly this think getting a job in your field would be considered "a gap year!"

She literally gets the WORST advice from advisors at school, regularly.
