[QUOTE="BrownArmy, post: 3064663, member: 18225"] I had two years of a 'classical liberal' college education. I dropped out, because I had no idea what I was doing, and I just wanted to play rock and roll. Several years later, I went back to college, got a science degree, and was quite happy. I wouldn't trade the education I received for anything. Critical thinking skills aren't generally innate, and being challenged on your beliefs is a good thing. Learning how to learn is invaluable, and going to a trade school vs. a typical four year college doesn't change that. I learned enough math in college to get me through...it's not my thing, and I don't enjoy it. Kids in 'trade schools' these days probably need to learn way more computer science and math than I ever did - it's just the nature of the world. And now I'm a well-educated truck driver. Wasting my time posting on BC. [/QUOTE]
