Not that this is all that surprising. I am a registered independent. I vote for the candidate who I feel best represents my ideals. The problem I see is that there is too much focus on party lines, and not enough focus on beliefs. Far left leaning professors should be balanced with far right leaning professors. Regardless, they should be helping college students learn to think for themselves. There is a great need for primary and secondary education institutions to stop creating mindless drones.

I'm very grateful to have and proud of my degree.
That said, I think traditional four-year universities have about outlived their usefulness. Let's examine the benefits: It would appear that many people are graduating with degrees that don't lead directly to jobs. Apparently, there are millions of graduates either looking for work, or working below or outside of their field. From what I hear often in the industry, there are insufficient skilled technical workers to fill the available positions in those trades...many of which ultimately pay higher wages/salary than many entry level positions.
Sounds to me like it's time to shift away from the idea that "everyone needs a degree" and let these bastions of idleness and radical philosophy die a natural death when the cash dries up.

LCDR (Join to see) I agree with you. You hit on the wages. An extension of that is that these kids are taught throughout the college experience that they will be making a good wage, even at an entry level job. So you end up with kids getting degrees, and holding out for the wages that they have been taught they will be making, realistic or not. My company is trying to add an IT staffer. They have a set amount that they are willing to pay this individual. They are having a hard time because it is an entry level Tier 1 support position, and kids out of college are expecting 50K plus a year, so nobody worth having has taken the position. I don't have a degree. I have tried college a couple of times, then decided to join the Navy instead. I have technical training, and certifications. With technology advancing at such a high rate, there are some fields, IT being one of them, that I honestly think that a person interested is far better served by technical training over college degree. Another advantage of certification is that it forces the individual to maintain their skills to re-certify.

Nail-Head, Steven.
I got "lucky"; turned out I liked to talk to people, understood technical material quickly, and didn't mind travelling to close a deal...so here I am, a salesman for going on ten years now. Still, if I had it to do over (and perhaps I will with my son)...I'd have gone for a trade.

CMSgt (Join to see) I agree. There would need to be a massive culture shift. Too many sheep.

Might be nice for some professionals giving middle of the road info and letting students think.
