Ronald,
I agree wholeheartedly. The career educators tell us that something like 60 percent of the jobs people will old in 10 years don't exist today. We should not downplay the importance of education for education's sake. How students USE what they learn is up to them, as it always has been. That is not always an easy sell at a career school that tends to think of students moving from the classroom to the world of (immediately available) work. But I agree with you -- it is the logical way to think of all this.
