[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not surprised that more students are viewing higher education as vocational training, due to the high cost of a diploma. Kids are feeling pressured to major in lucrative fields vs ones that fit their interests or personality. Many jobs of the future probably haven’t even been invented yet, so in my opinion, a liberal arts education at the undergraduate level is valuable in teaching students how to learn and adapt. I recognize that my view is in the minority now. [/quote] Agree. I feel many of these comments are indicative of a new dark age in which education is not valued. I think it is tragic for our society as a whole. I blame the colleges for pandering to students with spending on dorms, etc, which raises tuition costs but I also blame parents who are so consumerist. (Have folks noticed how some parents focus more on how their child will decorate their dorm room than on what they will study?).[/quote]
