Quite a long time ago, that intention changed to make a better worker.
School was intended to make a better “you”, not provide a career.

Talking like that around here is likely to get you labeled a communist.
Unfortunately, too many people now, including President Trump, think the university is about job training, and the big beautiful bill enshrines that way of thinking. What will happen in the next decade or so will be public/state universities accelerating their training of “workers”, by starving off the liberal arts, while the elite private institutions, where the offspring of the elite go, will continue whole person training. (Harvard and Yale aren’t doing job training y’all, while X State University certainly is) What will happen is the elite private institution folks will be the world/country leaders, who will pay peanut wages to the “workers” trained by state/vocational universities.
The university is not supposed to be about jobs. That is what the community college is supposed to do. Most people, including President Trump, do not seem to remember this.

Education has been replaced with Indoctrination. Instead of learning how to think, they teach you what to think.
