I intentionally did not read the article.

I have always understood College was for the sole purpose of education.

Biased as a professor, I blame the public and politicians for distorting the original purpose.

Medical school is training, college is education.

.....college is education....

Well, perhaps it used to be. However, education at all levels has been transformed into indoctrination during my lifetime.

"Medical school is training, college is education."

That's true and in essence what I told my daughter -- study whatever turns you on but be sure to take some courses that teach you how the world works. After college -- "There are three (3) professions: law, medicine and the clergy. Pick any one you want."

She majored in music with a minor in chemistry. And made Phi Beta Kappa -- they seem to love offbeat combos. She has her "dream job".

I was surprised by the graduation requirements at her top-ranked college. "How the world works" courses were definitely not required.
