This is going to be difficult for you to understand because it is obvious that your focus as regards education is that it is a job-training endeavor, but some people wish to acquire knowledge as regards how their civilization came to be and to get the “polish” that comes with a college education, and some add to that by acquiring useful degrees (I’m sure you would take issue) in such fields as education, economics, nursing, and the like). Granted, some study art and I’m sure that bothers the hell out of you, but then again, your focus is on the paycheck. Good, keep it there.
I have nothing more to say. Adios.
Education isn’t a useful degree. It is an indoctrination program for liberalism. The mot uneducated idiots are those claiming degrees in education.
You will probably be surprised to learn that I volunteer at my local classical music station, and I attend the theatre about once a month. I just don’t regard it as the primary thrust of civilization. This is stuff you do after the real business is taken care of. The Chinese don’t send their people over here to study art history. We need to start doing something that we can trade them for TV sets, because one of these days they are going to stop taking our IOUs.
