Your central assumption is that four more years without a job is the only way to learn whatever you need (abstract, practical, whatever). I just disagree. Effi

Your central assumption is that four more years without a job is the only way to learn whatever you need (abstract, practical, whatever). I just disagree. Efficient processes measure outputs/results, like what people actually learn or accomplish after all that time. But many people in this thread are measuring inputs, like, just put in four more years of time and money and that must be good for everyone, right?
