therefore all college is bad
Collegiate education can be an incredibly powerful tool if used correctly. Just like a gun can be used to produce food for a family with deer, to protect loved ones from danger, or to murder for the sake of emotions or property. Tools require someone to use them, if abused they are dangerous.
When getting my IT degree I had one professor tell the class cell phones work like magic in the air. I had another prepare 3d workshops with components that had to be correctly configured to pass tests with increasing complexity. He also used real world situations like becoming a network engineer and asking what do you tell the office manager of 500 people when the network drops? Do you send them home and say it’ll take 5 hours? Do you tell them to stay and it’ll take 2? Overshoot and you’re milking the company for hours of service rendered, undershoot and you appear like an idiot who can’t do his job, and the employees grow resentment and distrust while also costing the company money to keep them there. Should they stay open and wait? Should they leave and save the company staffing money? They taught at the same school 1 semester apart.
Universities have increasingly become political ideological weapons that ussssuuuuuuually end up hiring more administrators who’s value is purely emotional, if at all. We need more like my second professor in the real life example above. At this rate what’s next? What’s the next target? When education stops being the #1 priority what are these young adults going into 25 years of debt for? To be lied to and coddled? It isn’t right.
