| I could argue that engineering schools are trade schools too. In fact, as more students aspire for high pay jobs, as opposed to advancement of intellect or learning, more college students are simply picking majors that will yield a big job (or so they hope), upon graduation.
For most students these days, college is a "trade school" of sorts. Very few that I know are there to read great books, have great discussions, and take a smattering of liberal arts courses. In fact, contrary to music, most of the kids that we know really have money making as their top priority, and are designing their majors and coursework with that in mind (Econ seems to be a biggie).
I say hurrah for the music major! |
