Therein lies the truth in the old adage, "if by the age of 25, you aren't a liberal, you have no heart. If by the age of 40, you aren't a conservative, you have no brain".
that used to be true, before Faux news and the Republican party. These days conservative means anti-science, pro-discrimination brainless
If conservative was still conservative (small government, no interference, based on data/facts) it would be the obvious choice for the rational
One goes to college to be educated and to be able to have interesting conversations with others. A well rounded education is always useful to jump into a work related area. Self taught folks can also do well, but many require a more formal education. The other aspect is obtaining a profession and that has to do with specific jobs that require a license.
Colleges are selling a lot of liberal art degrees and do not land jobs. Colleges do the propaganda to collect the money from student loans. College is a business and marketing is everything.
There is a nursing school as part of the college I attend. To get an RN, they are required to take History, Algebra and a lot of other classes that they don't need for their profession. And it has changed. My sister is a retired RN. When she was in school, nursing students primarily took classes associated with their profession.
These are vast generalities. Are there some that do this? Yes.
On the other hand I watched a bunch of young guys yesterday fighting for first place.
They were fighting for first place because of human nature, the need to win. We are bred with it in our DNA, however, progressives feel they need to try and breed this worthy aspiration right out of our DNA.
Be honest will ya?
The need to be politically correct, that the sexes are not only equal but effectively the same, that there are no losers only winners, that everyone should be identical IS WAY OUT OF CONTROL!!!
The very nuts who believe this nonsense are the ones who feel above the rest as they foist their insanity on society. They are the ultimate "do as I say not as I do" bunch of hypocrites. God forbid this psychotic behavior continues, because we'll be in a sh\tpile of hurt if it does.

You have to understand why.
Lawyers become judges, and judges and lawyers become politicians. We all know why.
Just as the legal system is, the education system is exploited by those who benefit the most. Who would that be?
Why should they stop at teaching exactly what a nurse will need, if they can double the credits to become an RN by requiring more classes?

now - its just a party of dolts

He doesn't even realize that he validated your point.
The first light bulbs, by the way, lasted much longer. The world's oldest light bulb (~110 years old) still works. But why do light bulbs that I buy at the store now only last a couple of months at best?
Though most of what you posted was logical, the question I;d ask is: Where the hell do you buy your light bulbs?
Light bulbs are so much more intelligently built now. Do you know how inefficient that 100 year old light bulb is? I've switched to LED exclusively, and they'll last 50,000-100,000 hours and save me 70-90% on electricity.

A well rounded education is necessary. Otherwise, folks are just uninteresting technicians that cannot hold a conversation.
