Ugh. This again. College != vocational school. You don’t go to college to learn a trade or gain skills to get your first job. You’re building skills that you’ll use through the entirety of your career. Communication and critical thinking skills will never become obsolete.

- endisneigh 6y agoYou're correct, however my point that there exists non-profit schools that offer useless degrees, stands. Are you arguing otherwise? It's unclear from your post.
- vkou 6y agoThis may be true in some ideal platonic universe - but for real people living in the real world, college is indeed a vocational school.
