Well, the few people I had in mind aren’t exactly tearing up the world of financial services to put it nicely. Maybe moron was too mean.
A related belief I have is that college students over-index on trying to get their foot in the door of whatever industry. For example, students who skip stats and CS classes because they might hurt their GPA might find themselves behind the students who did 5 years down the line. Even in the humanities and social sciences. Another example is all the junior engineers who are leetcode experts but don’t know what DNS is.
I actually agree with what you are saying. But why can’t college be the place to do that? You have a bunch of people together in one place who want to learn (and have the time), in theory guided by experts. Most people are highly social learners and need some accountability, and Khan academy videos aren’t going to cut it
