<p>If you’re referring to all…I’m not sure that’s correct. There’s far too many parents and college kids who view a college education mostly/solely as a means to be “branded” with the correct credential for a highly paid/prestigious job…actual education and intellectual development be damned. Some with such attitudes exist here on CC, moreso in the larger American society, and from what I’ve observed in both Chinas and heard from friends in other East Asian countries…is even worse over there. </p>
<p>Don’t get some older relations started on their rants on how current East Asian students have lost sight of the true purposes of a college education. Ironically, they’re the ones who were not only open-minded enough…but also aware of the US educational landscape to actually encourage me and a younger cousin to apply/enroll at LACs.</p>
