Have our dreams changed in the past twenty some years? There is a study done annually by the Higher Education Research Institute of UCLA that shows they have, at least for some. The Institute surveys more than 200,000 incoming college freshman each year and has done so since 1967. These students are asked to say whether "it is very important or essential" to either "be very well off financially" or "develop a meaning philosophy of life." The findings are quite disturbing.
