[QUOTE="stinger 1957, post: 719686, member: 1682"] Maybe the even bigger question is what happens to the college campus all over the country? This is just me, but I believe we're in for really big change with how we educate in this country. There's no need for institutions to teach information/knowledge because it's every where, what's needed is to teach critical thinking and on the job training for the field people are seeking. I even think the basics will go under the knife somehow. Our education system is not matching up with the needs for our nation IMO. I do see the need for Engineering, Technology, science in some sort of campus setting along with some medical and there may be one or two I'm missing, but the rest looks to me like it could drastically change. For those on our boards that were wondering about UGA and others starting engineering schools, now we know why. The CYA move. There is something that I think is needed worse than anything else and that's aptitude testing, not question and answer but the type where you're actually doing things to determine what you're best suited for, I only know of one outfit that does it well and that's Johnson O'Conner, that's not to say there are not others that do the "doing things model", I just don't know of them. How many times have I heard people later in their life say they never felt like they were doing what they were really suited for, and it obviously had been a source of frustration for them much of their adult life. The question and answer type is worthless IMO, ego gets in there and screws up the truth. IMO we have some very interesting years with big change in how we do things coming for our nation. Lots of opportunity ahead for people who know how to recognize opportunity. Should be lots of opportunity in the education field IMO. Wow! did not mean for this to go so long. I stop. [/QUOTE]
