At Parent’s Weekend her first year, the freshman dean announced that the college “is not a trade school.”



What is his definition of a “trade” degree? If he thinks everyone should be majoring in whatever I’d ask him what the job placement was like for all the “studies” majors. I’d also tell him that if he wants to put the idea in my child’s head that certain degrees are “trades” and not the normal experience he should cut the tuition for those willing to major in things that are not practical, otherwise he should encourage hard work and persoanl growth. I don’t think a general dean should EVER promote certain degrees, of course if he was a dean of say the business school it’d be different.
