This blog's purpose is to dial in on our MWP3 concerning education and grasp a sense ofwhat our peers feel about current education and future education. Reading some of my classmates blogs i have mostly read about the negative aspects of education, I must agree. I feel the college institute has become a depository for money and has lost focus on productivity and functionality. Anyone is able to recieve a bachelor degree with just minimal work. A bachelor degree isnt as prestigious as it use to be, students are now able to obtain a degree with just studying little as 5 hours a week, thats cake! But what it does is cause inflation and the value tremendously deappreciates. For instance my cousin went to the university of utah got his degree in socialology, which once he got out there were no jobs that needed his abilities. And just the other day he applied for a miniumum wage maintence job, finding out their were 23 applicants that had a college degree, its crazy. This is where the college and advisors need to step in and stop saying "well what are your interest, what do you like to do?" If you say art then your going to be an art major. They need to ask well what do you like to do and lets see if there is any demand for that vocation. I feel with our current technology our society should be more intelligent then ever. We have such quick access to an infinite amount of prudent information. Creativity and Intelligence should be thriving.
