I have two earned doctorates, so I have nothing against higher education; however, I see college kids go to college more as a right of passage than to obtain an education. The vast majority of these students major in subjects in which there is no demand in the “real world.” Not only that, but many of them assume huge indebtedness. It would be far, far better for most of these students to go to a vocational school and learn a trade of some sorts. If you can read and use the Internet, you can learn just about anything you want without ever having to enroll in a university. Higher education for the majority of students is a terrible waste of time and money.
BUMP!
That describes me. My "knowledge" gained from college has been of little use in my life. Full disclosure: my major was English. Because when I went to college in the 60s, majoring in English was the thing to do.
