[QUOTE=Lion;35009]Indeed. This Prof. didn't actually [I]say[/I] anything in her response.
I can honestly say I did not learn a thing in College. It was a waste of my time that only helped to put me in debt. PC is right, UNT is a joke.
I maintain you can learn more completely on your own for a year than you can an entire 4 year university program. People skills are infinitely more important then any technical skill you can learn in any school, anywhere.
Typically anyone with a profession that requires excessive schooling doesn't actually learn anything. They parrot everything that have been taught and do not actively search for the truth, or anything that would challenge their view. Doctors, for example.
I would prefer my children not waste their time on excessive schooling when the world is at their fingertips and they could do some real learning. Unless, or course, they wanted to go to school after becoming bored with the homeschooling they receive on the family compound in rural Idaho.
Note: I'm not sure I know anyone who used their degree to work in a career that they absolutely love. Most of them hate their jobs, and work in some type of cancerous corporate environment. If your degree isn't a way for you to do something you love to do, then you shouldn't do it.[/QUOTE]
I would say there are a ton of Engineers who actually learn some stuff in college that help them a lot. Even at shitty schools since this is just more technical type stuff.
Also some technical schools can teach guys how to work on machines and such. For example the tech guys who work on Semiconductor equipment can easily make 100k+ a year.
