Articles like this seem to think that the point of education is to jump to the finish line. We should all just learn the skills that employers deem necessary. We should all be pawns of corporate America, where our definition is defined by our narrow technical ability to do whatever it is they ask. If a CS student chooses to get a philosophy minor, they would be considered "well-rounded". But somehow learning the actual tools of their trade is considered a "waste of time". Apparently because you don't need to know about big-O notation to deliver whatever some company thinks is important. So yeah let's all just exclusively learn the skills that companies ask for, that will surely be a good world to live in.
