[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College should be about learning, not about getting a job! [/quote] I would argue that K-12 is about learning for the sake of learning. Past grade 12, it’s about a career and entering the work force. When the US began acting like college was compensatory education and propped it up by government lending programs, things went off the rails. Other countries have free or low cost universities which have programs much for specialised towards careers than here.[/quote] Then don't go to college and go to trade/vocational programs. Colleges are not designed around optimizing your career opportunities.[/quote] Trade school doesn't grant engineering degrees. Professional schools don't take trade school credentials in their application process. The general education university degree is really just a vanity project you engage in to make your self marriageable material.[/quote]
