[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand that tweeting is a skill but I'd still rather my kid learn how to think and write at college than learn how to maintain a popular twitter feed. The half-life of software engineer's knowledge is 2-3 years. The economy will be a lot different in 20 years and I don't think it really makes sense to treat college as vocational school. Bottom line is any job you could learn how to do in college it's probably not a job that is going to pay well.[/quote] The point is that if your kid decides to college and major in English Lit, she's better off doing that *and* knowing how to maintain a Twitter feed. No she probably won't be doing Twitter in 20 years, but it will put her in a better position to get a job right out of school than she would have been as an English Lit major with no other marketable skills.
