Sure...if you could hire psychics to meet with students individually and determine exactly what job they will take, and exactly what kills that job would demand of them, and be prepared to taylor an education program specifically for that student.
Not sure that it would pay off in a fiscal sense however.

Do you support the UC Davis campus officers who used pepperspray on student protesters seated on the ground? Did they think no one saw?

You're reading Due to a statistic that people only use 27 percent of what they learn in a four year university, should it be condensed to 1-2 years to save money or would that take away some of the other lessons learned while attending?

haha, i agree. I guess I was more specifically talking about general courses such as history, english, and math that people, depending on their major/career, will no have to use ever again in their entire lives. Would it be wise to remove those classes or are they part of a bigger picture of personal evaluation that college stands for?

They ARE part of the bigger picture...and I'm not opposed to most of them. I do wish general ed courses were subject to reduced cost however. People don't have to be provided with an opporitunity to regurgitate facts later in life to have benefited from their related courses. A well-rounded education gives one the tools to attack problems from multiple different angles, as well as providing them the ablity to judge which angle is the best for a particular problem. People who have taken a foreign language make better computer programmers. People who have taken math, think more logically...a skill that is invaluable in just about every discipline. These courses contribute to a better developed mind-set...offering numerous "hidden" benefits.
