[QUOTE="El Correcto, post: 3793356, member: 60631"] We just have different views on what should be considered an education. I view the couple months I spent learning how to deliver at ups way more valuable than my 4 years of highschool aka college prep. I think more practical education teaching kids skills or fast tracking them to higher education that translates into making money and not reciting Snapple cap facts is the way to go. From my point of view most people hardly remember anything they learned in highschool or use it on a day to day basis to make money. It’s just kind of become this societal norm that we pump money into an institution because “education” has become so important. I’m not saying education isn’t, I’m just saying is what they’re learning worth the investment? Shouldn’t we be streamlining this process especially for college students so they can be gaining hands on experience while studying for the things they need to know and getting to work in their field sooner?
