I sure hope you’re right. One of my kids just graduated from a STEM only university. Total geek school.

It was very small, just a few hundred students. No dorm. They had apartments. No cafeteria. Want to eat? Cook it yourself.

No sports teams.

Most important- No fluff classes and very little pc nonsense.

Nearly every class pertained to his major.

They also guarantee that grads will find a job in their field writhin 90 days.

In reality, most are working in their field well before they graduate.

In his case, as an Astronautical Engineering major, he had a 30 hour a week job at NASA as a data technician for a satellite mission.

Soon after graduation, another NASA contractor hired him for a systems engineering gig on an array of satellites.

My oldest daughter has decided to complete her bachelors. She found an online college “broker” called Unbound.

They took her existing credits and created a bachelors program for her consisting of online classes from multiple colleges.

It’s cheap and she’s really enjoying it. She took a full time nanny job for an infant so she can study during nap time.

These two types of programs both seem far better than the institutionalized warehouse football team with a college attached.
