which is funny because reality makes that idea complete bullshit
leadership doesn't want professionals, it wants low paid worker drones and ‘good enough’ ai
10% of your students might go on to be skilled enough to demand a job that respects their abilities, the rest are gonna be employed by tech illiterate boomers (lord these guys don’t want to retire) and will likely be dealing with being forced to use ai
thankfully i can’t use ai in my work so it'll be decades before it is even a concern for me directly but i have multiple friends dealing with this issue now
they are intelligent, well educated, had top grades, their boss is some nepo baby with grand ideas of being the next elon

That's a very capitalist view of education. Some people just want to learn, and that's the point of an education, to enable learning. You might need that piece of paper to get a job in the field you want, and the field you want might prefer a mindless worker drone, but that doesn't mean that education should cut corners and teach to the job.
sadly yea, i’m not happy about it but pretending education is above it all is doing no one any favors
i’d love if we had free education and a culture valuing learning for the joy of it in the us but we can’t even manage to agree feeding starving kids is important
and we just shat all over skilled nurses and the like as non-professional

hard to not hold a bleak outlook on all of it
what an odd thing to hear about new mexico but good, i’m happy for you and i hope improves life for more in your state
We don't have to agree. We essentially live in post democratic times. Some people just have to do it.
Education can be above it all and make it possible.
i too want star treck but we’re getting children of men
Because people don't enact the values of Star Trek. People could create a Starfleet Academy and an organisation with Star Trek values but it seems that all fans are eager for WW3 because that is scripture.

What about you? What do you need to make a change?
