>Brilliant, I've long thought that all universities should run under this model
I strongly disagree. Let universities be universities. The point of a university is to develop your mind, not train for a job. There's no reason we cannot have a parallel vocational system which teaches people practical skills. Let the market decide which one better serves students.
- austenallred 9y agoIf that's what universities are, that's fine, but I'd argue that's not why the vast majority of students attend a University.
- aphextron 9y agoCompletely agreed. The US needs a robust vocational system a la Germany to fill in the gaps.
- spraak 9y ago> The point of a university is to develop your mind, not train for a job. I think that's true in practice, but not in most university's marketing, or even the general cultural/social attitude towards going to university, which is in general viewed as the surest path to the best job. > Let the market decide which one better serves students. Most universities exist outside of the market in how they receive funding etc.
