[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My SLAC didn't/doesn't offer it, either . . . I don't think that many do. It's not part of a classic curriculum that focuses on theory and critical thinking skills, versus practical and technical skills (that most graduates from elite schools will pick up on the job).[/quote]
Companies now a days want people who can hit the ground running, and that often means already having the practical/technical skills on the job. That's why internships are so important.[/quote]

No I want intelligent people with critical thinking skills. I can train them in the job skills but if they don’t have the ability to think and analyze, they are of no use to me. [/quote]

Correct. This is why target schools exist and why they will be relied on more in the next few years. [b]The major does not matter much, the thinking ability does[/b]. [/quote]

For what careers or jobs are you referring to where major doesn't matter?  Please tell and share with us your vast knowlege.[/quote]
