My two cents on this.
I have met and interviewed plenty of well educated, degreed individuals that couldn't find their way out of a problem no matter what help you provided them. It doesn't mean these are poorly educated or unintelligent people, just proves that a degree doesn't provided you with critical thinking or problem solving abilities. College only provides you the opportunity to develop these skills, which you can find in other places as well.
- Tycho 10y agoReading Fooled By Randomness / The Black Swan / Anti-fragile would probably put you on a better footing for critical thinking than any college degree. (And probably some other books you could substitute.)
- szul 10y agoI'm okay with this assessment. College doesn't guarantee these skills, but it certainly provides a great deal of opportunity for the student to gain a significant advantage over non-college grads.
