So really this boils down to one question: what is the purpose of universities?
Put simply, is it-
A: to make prepared members of society
B: to make prepared members of a work force
Now this is not as simplistic as it seems. Some may argue that A results in B. Some say that B is necessary for A to happen.
My view is why can't we have both?

- saraid216 14y agoI disagree with A, B, and randomdata's C. (I mostly disagree with randomdata because that's way too broad a stroke.) The purpose of universities is to provide an umbrella for intellectual specializations to conduct research. There are two reasons they admit students: to pay the bills, and to acquire apprentices.
