I agree with you. The way the teacher's discussion starts in the book is asking the children what they want to be when they grow up. First of all, not every occupation requires a college degree - for example, policemen, firemen, plumbers, electricians, etc. Also, as you mentioned, college is also about studying subjects you enjoy and broadening your horizons.Lincolnshirelass wrote: ↑29 Nov 2017, 08:57 This sounds like an interesting book, and I loved the review, but just one thing bothered me - I admit at once I haven't read it and it may well come up - I don't know if I like the idea that college/university is only about getting a job. Obviously, in the real world, that's a consideration, but surely higher education is also about broadening your mind and horizons and learning more about subjects you love.
