This may come as a shock, but it's true. In its very roots, higher education was a leisurely pursuit for intellectuals among the elite. To this day, proper education is not job training. An undergrad degree is intended to do far more than give you skills to use on the job. You can get job training anywhere, even on the job.
Skills are easy to learn.
If you are pursuing a degree, you are committing to far more than practical skills for a more lucrative career. It makes you a better person. You learn that complex problems never have simple solutions. You learn that there are always alternate viewpoints and that these are quite valid and must be considered. You learn to synthesize and integrate information and make informed decisions.
