So, in some of the social platform discussion on my last post, the issue of the practicality of a college education came up. Should college teach practical job skills or should it be for some more abstract purpose - learning for learning sake or if one would be a bit presumptions learning how to think. Way back when going to college was not the norm. Most went from HS to workforce and even in HS you might have the "academic" track that prepared you for college, "vocational" that was job prep like automotive or regular which was neither extreme.
