Then you have misunderstood. Some courses in college translate into good jobs afterward [example: any engineering degree]. Others are good for knowledge, but do not lend themselves to a job [example: history] other than a narrow field such as teaching. Other degrees are totally worthless [example: any degree ending in “studies”].

There is a difference between teach critical thinking and indoctrination. Most people could save a lot of money by going to vocational schools or junior colleges and getting useful skills and not paying for a gold plated “education” that's worthless.

I would expect anyone with the screen name of MasterGunner01 to not understand the purpose of higher education. You are fixated on college as job training and there’s no way to penetrate that barrier. And I’m not about to try.
