Too many kids going for the party life and too few for the education. Look at some of the majors they have in liberal arts. Black studies, feminist studies, LGBT studies. . . And we have to import engineers.

NAU is famous for it’s “cross dresser” studies. Seriously. That’s their claim to fame. That and bumperstickerology. Flagstaff is the liberal bumper sticker capitol of the world.

I think you hit on the real culprit here. Many in colleges today simply should not be there to begin with. They are holing up there living on loans hoping their lot in life will change without understanding they are in their remedial studies or token college degree programs because they are ill prepared for academics and or entry into a meaningful career.

The education industry is complicit in this charade because more students equal higher paychecks or even employment.

Yup. Quicken founder Dan Gilbert has complained that far too many applicants might have the degree but don't have the knowledge because colleges are socializing students like kindergartners instead of teaching them the skills needed to become productive adults.
