Op-Ed: Why college needs to teach students how to fail

College is all about preparing you to succeed when you graduate. That's what students are spending tens of thousands of dollars each year to learn, isn't it? What's missing from that equation?

Meghan O'Dea joins us this week to talk about her piece on Nooga.com:

"They didn't teach you this in college, but failure is where you find the biggest, juiciest, most joyful answers in life," she wrote.

More from her piece:

I was so busy doing the right thing that I saved up all of my failures for after graduation. The four years in college I ostensibly had to figure myself out and try things on--I missed that boat. Instead, I spent the four years after college making a big mess of things. I dated around. I failed at my relationships. I worked at four different companies and freelanced. I failed at several of those--getting chewed out by managers and supervisors and even getting fired. I learned how to handle money. I failed at that a LOT, because shoes are more fun than sewer bills. I tried a lot of different things in the past four years, and more often than not, they went terribly wrong.
