The notion that college is primarily to be an educated individual is a big reason why the system is so broken.
Lol no. The system is so broken because colleges have grossly over-exaggerated their value in the workforce.

Maybe one or two at most. Physiological Psychology with Mike Hawkins at lsu was one of the most challenging classes I had.
He's a brilliant guy can be tough but fair.
Everything but that class for psyc undergrad classes are easy. Is rizzuto still hott?

I liked the intro poli sci course. Old man Eubanks was cool

See I find the objective classes easier and did well in undergrad.

I was going to say this as well.
The University system is broken because:
1) On the students' part they still approach college as an institution of higher learning, not as job training.
and
2) On the Universities' part they have shifted from higher learning to (poor)job training programs- a change which is reflected in the price of attendance as they (erroneously) operate under the assumption they are preparing all their students for high-paying jobs- yet still market themselves as institutes of higher learning.

hey, I was one of those washed-out yippies (more like a blend between yuppy & hippy). But alas, grad school beat the socialism out of me. I had to take actual economics courses there...

Isn't problem one a result from useless elective courses that take up 1-2 years of a degree.
Each major only needs the coursework that fits that respective degree. Or only add math as an elective?

I enjoyed the class but what was with that guy's hard on for baseball? It's a boring game but the way he describes it you'd think it was the most fascinating shite in the world.

Well, neither is a problem in itself, but both in conjunction create one problem.
It's ok to want a round education.
It's ok to want rote job training.
The problem is universities are giving neither in most cases, but continue to convince wave after wave of young people just starting their adult life to take on massive debt to attend and that they have no shot at success if they do otherwise.

Yep. Being a science major allowed me to enjoy, relax and be entertained by history, philosophy, art and linguistics classes.

why are the two mutually exclusive (investment and education)?
They aren't, but I would never go to college just to get educated. The primary reason is to open the doors to jobs you would otherwise not get.
Everything I learned during the course of my degree at LSU, I could have learned on line. And I proved this because I had the most horrible collection of professors at LSU. I can count on one hand the professors I would call "good". The vast majority of what I learned was done using other resources.
The word educated is thrown around to be equivalent to having a bachelor's degree or higher. I knew people with programming skills in high school who could put a fresh computer science graduate to shame.
Likewise, I work with people who don't have engineering degrees who are better than many of our engineers.

Any actual Art class/Major
My history major was only hard because teachers are very subjective. What's an A to one is a C to another
Women and Gender is easy, say exactly the opposite of what you believe. Took 3 classes, all As

French, no?
Don´t you have to unlearn years of patois-induced mistakes and colloquialisms?

Women's and Gender studies
a friend of mine and I got convinced that this class would be an easy A so we took it. first day in class the pretty hot British teacher gets up going on about privilege.
She asks who and what makes someone privileged in america
quote:
white, male, wealthy, straight, healthy, ect
then she asks to raise your hand if you are all those things. We of course, being two frat white boys, were the only two.
Friend leans over "i wish i was not wearing this fricking Marth's Vineyard shirt"

Dang. I thought I had some solid professors during my LSU undergrad.
I had a terrible trig professor that showed up late for each class after the midterm. He wrote one problem on the board and asked if there were any questions then walked out.
I never saw him after that.

History was my minor and I actually could have taken two more courses and had a major in history.
All the upper level classes were writing intensive and I enjoyed all of them.

I took an art history course in my very last semester and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I learned so much.

I had to take English literature and had Dr. Gage, it was my most challenging class because he was a total lunatic.
