No, we're talking about university education which should not be a business.
Money and loans are involved, people pay, and people get paid. If we go even further on the money part, many consider it an investment.
Anyways. Perhaps we should make the core liberal arts courses free of charge, and then create a pricing model for professional courses where the pricing model is more realistic about what is being offered, for what price, where the question truly becomes “is this worth it?”. That way we can finally separate the holiness of a core education away from specialized professional paths.
- haldujai 3y agoThat’s interesting. I could get behind 1-2 years of core liberal arts training for everyone. I think it would be better for society. I find the skills I developed in my English degree have been very useful during my medical training and practice and has been commented on by my teachers during this journey. It’s certainly a better use of resources and time than a pre-med curriculum that gets repeated in the first 2 years of medical school anyway.
