I claim no authority on this, but my understanding was that community college and professional schools were the institutions designed to teach people directly employable skills, and that the university existed to allow people to explore academic subject material for its own inherent value.
- scarface74 8y agoDo you think parents or students are paying 10s of thousands of dollars and going in debt for the “inherent value” or with the hopes that they will be more employable?
