This is a misconception a lot of companies have today, which is too bad. Realistically, a college degree, regardless of how advanced the degree is doesn't ensure these degreed folks are truly critical thinkers. In fact, good old commonsense seems to elude many of the most educated people around, in my experience. If the educational community and businesses keep focusing on degrees as a criteria for recruitment of new employees, many people won't start working until they are 30 or more years old. Once they start earning money, they will owe a good portion of their salaries for student loans....all that to sling a hamburger or bring a customer their water, (okay so some will have better jobs then this, but you get the picture).
Completely agree. By and large, college doesn't encourage critical thinking at all. Professors simply teach you which ideas or ideologies to criticize. More specifically, it's unchecked liberal indoctrination. Students critical of
this are at risk of unwarranted failing, censorship, removal from class, or even expulsion.
Research current statistics on professors' political affiliations; then Google the cutesy little term "Speech Codes," and guess which voices it's overwhelmingly used against. To shame, silence, or worse. Far left fascism, plain and simple, from the self-proclaimed champions of free speech.
And this "bastions of tolerance and diversity" nonsense they commonly espouse has absolutely zero to do with ideas or opinions; it is ENTIRELY about skin color.
