Nothing mind blowing? Only mind blowing course was Sociology. My professor worshipped Bernie Sanders and I appreciated him engaging his students to do better.
But also,
That succeeding in college/university just shows that someone can learn, follow instructions, work in a group, etc. It really is to prepare someone to show up and do the work. I mean everyone is different and there’s just more likelihood of someone being a better person to work with than someone who doesn’t have that structure or ability to absorb info and think.
I don’t think necessarily that people need higher education but it helps. I tell people I think careerwise it helps to have at least two of the three:
skills
networking/network
higher education
Know college isn’t for some people and the people I know that are successful are often very skilled or/and have connections, can make connections to get employed where they are.
Oh and STEM though, I think people 100% need college/university for more specialized fields and STEM like medical professionals, physicists, etc.
My polisci teacher day 1 really hammered in that literally everything is political, that it is unavoidable, and all you do by avoiding politics is giving up your own agency when it comes to the things that you care about. It was 2017, so a lot of political apathy at the time, idk it reallly made it click that every single thing is poltical, based on it or decided by it.
Like not caring about politics is just not caring about how you live your life and giving up any control you have to others. People only realize when they lose something they care about like porn games lol
It really depends on the line of work if you need higher education or not.
In my work, where we create software in the automobile industry, Only 1% or so don’t have higher education, and even if they can work around it, it shows pretty fast once you look at how they organize their work, code, documentation, etc.

she was an older teacher, so makes sense it was the ideal she grew up with
