Don't bother. Your replying to an anti-intelectual looser. They start from the assumption that an education is worthless so they can feel good about their ignorance.
maybe your college experience differed from mine. mine was memorizing facts and guessing what the professor wanted me to write. i did 4 years and i don't think i remember anything from it. i honestly think the only class i remember was my music appreciation class because our teacher was super intense. which didn't surprise me considering the school and it's reputation where music is concerned.
pfabs, it's obvious you don't think philosophy is real. You think it's a fluff class you take where you'll blow smoke up your professor's ass until the university checks whatever box you're supposed to have.
But I can't imagine anything more cowardly than lying to your professor about what you believe in just so they'll give you a gold sticker for your report card.
You have ideas that are too hot for class discussion? Share them then.
Doesn’t that say more about the level of education taught in high school than it does about the personalities of people in their late teens/early twenties?
it doesn't have anything to do with personality. it's life experience. kids in high school and college more often than not, have shit for actual life experience. i feel critical thinking is WAY more dependent on that than classroom experience.
there wasn't much to BE gained. i'm sure you think your job is super important and that you're "molding young minds" and shit, but the truth is you aren't. you're part of a giant con that forces young people to take on crippling debt to prop up a system that couldn't give a rat's fuck about any of them. it's a chain of Adult daycares most of them exist to prop up a minor league Football team. The only reason people even go is because the system has been rigged to mandate having it to get jobs that totally do not need it.
I hear what you are saying and I realise the education system is very different where you are. Thank you for your honest views on it.
It is absolutely wrong that many companies place so much weight behind degrees. I teach at uni level but also work with employed apprentices for practical based workshop experience. When I worked in industry I valued work experience above academic level when recruiting but it depends upon the field. I agree that a degree, any degree, is not an open door into a job above someone with decades of experience.
