#STEM is vital — no question.
But somewhere along the bureaucratic assembly line, people confused university with vocational training.
The university was meant for education, not for the distribution of career starter packs.
#Education forms minds; it doesn’t hand out paychecks. Yet the modern student, groomed on the gospel of entitlement and the narcotic of state-fed propaganda, expects a guaranteed job as if it were an itemized line in their tuition invoice.
#Degrees in
#English and literature matter deeply. As someone with postgraduate work in mathematics and engineering, I can say without irony that my M.A. and M.F.A. made me a far better technical writer. Precision in language sharpens precision in thought; syntax is logic in motion. Education was meant to refine the individual — to shape intellect, culture, and civility. It was never a trade school for the pseudo-enlightened.
Once, you were educated first — then you pursued a vocation. You learned how to think, how to reason, how to live in society. We traded that for a diploma mill promising job security. And in doing so, we lost the very idea of what being educated meant.
