"Also, this argument is very spurious. There’s a huge chasm between an A and a C which you have neglected. "
I agree!
“I send my kids to school to be educated for life not for job training anyway. To each their own.”
I definitely went to school to be trained as an engineer and ended up using that training as a stepping stone to something else. I definitely view and will use med school as job training. I’m actually really trying to look at it your way. But I can’t get past the fact that most of my school revolved around learning a skill that would be applied to a job. I definitely had a few classes that focused on critical thinking,writing, time management, all life long skills but the vast majority of classes taught a job skill or the skill needed to learn the job skill.
I guess i could not justify the cost of a college education if I could not parlay that into job using the skills I learned.
I openly admit I find this a really interesting conversation.
