OT: College enrollment and financial issues?
- Thread starter Leonard23
- Start date
Colleges and universities were originally set up for wealthy families and the true brainiacs out there. The curricula reflected that, as well as teh religious aspect that created the idea of higher learning in the first place.
What purpose do they serve now?
I asked Grok to look through Rutgers New Brunswick offerings and classify them by discipline (I doubt it is complete).. my purpose would be to eliminate the "soft sciences" and nebulous humanities which create degreed individuals that need careers created for them rather than finding work that needs the skills they learned.
Feel free to take this list and note which you would eliminate
