Yeah, I'm gonna have to disagree with that, too.

College, for me, is more about broadening my mind... and I see the same for a number of people there. Philosophy, Astronomy, History, Biology... all subjects I've studied beyond the required amounts for my major... yet when are those subjects going to directly apply to my job?

You're thinking of vocational colleges, I think.... like ITT Tech, or what-have-you.... but even then, it could be argued that people are learning skillsets to work for themselves - not for others.
