Going to university does not broaden the mind
Only the privileged can afford to go to college to “broaden their mind”. Most people go to college to compete in the market and get a job.<p>It’s amazing how much push back I get about computer science degrees should teach marketable skills and people say they  weren’t meant to be ”vocational degrees” and you shouldn’t go to college for “job training”.<p>Just the idea that people are suggesting in some of the comments that everyone should be “required to live a year abroad” as part of college is more evidence of the bubble that many HN posters are in. How many middle class[1] families can afford to send their children overseas for a week let alone a year?<p>[1] By middle class I mean the real middle class income of about $60K a year not the Silicon Valley&#x2F;west coast definition of middle class.
