Gee, you and Scotty both think education is a "scam"......
Students graduating with a degree that Harry admits does not convey
any job skills and comes with a big 5 figure debt think it was a scam.
There is a law school being sued by it's students as we speak over
that exact issue.
Harry "admits"? What I said was that I didn't think the primary purpose
of a college education was to get a job. I think a good college
education helps a student learn how to think critically and abstractly,
and how to adapt one's self to the changing circumstances life presents.
Thinking critically is certainly a job skill, at least in the world I
occupy in earning a living. If I wanted to learn a trade, I would have
gone to a trade school. In fact, I did attend trade school classes
part-time because I had an opportunity to learn a skill I wanted to
have, but not because I really wanted to work at that trade.
Working isn't your strong suit. Could well be the cause of your
financial difficulties. ;-)
