I think you missed a couple words there:
* middle class
* structured
The children of public school teachers don't go into debt to spend five (or six!) figures on all-inclusive ski tour packages (complete with certificate!) as part of a pursuit for abstract self-betterment.
Also, if it were all for self-betterment, why have degrees at all? Why not just take classes that seemed worthwhile? Why have grades for that matter?
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoOver a period of 4 or 6 years? Sure they do. Personally, I've gone to Scout meetings for 2 decades, and spent a fortune on structured outings, uniforms, materials and supplies. Its something I enjoy and has a good result. We have degrees to satisfy the need for some for closure, to recognize accomplishment, and to get old students out of there and make room for new ones. That a degree has been fastened onto as a job-training certificate is just unfortunate.
