- rTX5CMRXIfFG 4y agoNot the commenter. I don’t hear people saying that (as a matter of fact I think it’s a problem that it’s not being said enough) but I think so too, solely from deduction. If universities were supposed to perform the same function as trade schools, then why do universities offer experiences and facilities way beyond what trade schools offer? One has to ask oneself at some point what is supposed to be the differentiation.
- fmajid 4y agoIt’s a carry-over from the era when a college education was a Veblen good for the wealthy and connected who would have gotten a job without it anyway. Not a serious policy prescription.
