[quote=Anonymous]The idea of learning life skills at such a place is laughable. What kind of life skills are you going to get on a campus populated solely by rich kids from families who value amenities? It’s not remotely representative of the society in which graduates are going to have to succeed. High Point doesn't sound like any workplace in America, with the possible exception of the Republican National Committee. The resulting “life skills” are likely to be as useful and durable as a motivational speech.
…
If High Point truly cares about life skills, why doesn’t it do more? The ultimate problem connecting High Point graduates to good jobs is that, as Ohio University’s Richard Vedder wrote in Forbes, “employers hiring high paid workers feel they need someone with more than a degree from the College of Last Resort.” And the reason High Point graduates won’t have the necessary skills – including life skills – isn’t that it’s a college of last resort. It’s because this particular college of last resort is a resort.
