Yes - I agree this statement is wrong. I don't think education is ever "nothing".zub2612 said:So clearly, its wrong to say that these colleges are "nothing".
Having said that, some colleges certainly have better overall reputations than others - just like some universities have better reputations than others. For colleges, if you had a choice, I would pick George Brown or Humber over Centennial or Seneca. I think Sheridan is in a different category because it's excellent for certain arts programs such as Animation and Medical/Technical Illustration. However I don't think it would be a great idea to take business at Sheridan (if they even offer it). From a university standpoint, schools like UofT, Queen's, McMaster, Waterloo, etc. are in a different league than schools like Lakehead, Brock, etc.
There's also the university vs. college question. A university degree typically gets you further and a university degree is certainly better if you're interested in a business career (e.g. banking). However if you're interested in trade work or something more artistic (e.g. Animation, Chef, Electrician, etc.) - college would probably be a far better choice.
