You are "literally" proof of the broken educational system.

^^^

That's a good burn.

I do feel a little bad inasmuch as this is probably applicable to most of the posts itt. But at the end of the day, you have your whole life to learn life skills. If you're learning how to do laundry in college, that's not really all that bad. On the other hand, we live in an economy with fewer and fewer jobs that arent replaceable by robots, fewer and fewer industries that arent decaying, more and more exploitation of anyone outside the 1 %. And one of the things that can really materially aid you in getting out of that trap is getting into a college, and getting into the best college possible. And it's a competitive process. And it's not like, you know, this is something that makes you more well rounded or psychologically healthier. So, you know.

Do I wish that we had an educational and economic system that didn't have those incentives? Of course. But that's the world we live in.

um, no.

Exactly what do you think it's worth to get into the best college possible if you don't get out with a degree? And one thing that can really materially aid you in actually completing your schooling is to have functional life skills like budgeting, organizing your time and your space, and taking care of your health.

Also, where do you get the notion that life skills have no bearing on your psychological health?

This is such an odd worldview to me, in that it's so tiny and ignoring the reality of many people's worlds. I went to a very small, very rural high school, and for at least half of the students in that school? There was no way on earth, outside of college suddenly becoming free, that they were going to college. Either they didn't have the grades or the money to get into any college, or they didn't have a need or interest in college (lots of kids planning to go into the family business. Having them take advanced college prep classes was a waste of *their* time. But I'm sure a lot of them could have found a basic skills home ec type class useful, and even for the people that did go to college, it's still useful. I mean, I got into a good college and was able to go and had parents that taught me 90% of that stuff (and spent most of my senior year doing classes like 'woodworking' and 'library sciences') and I still would have liked a class like that, simply because maybe someone telling me 'budgets are good' that wasn't my parents would have sunk in a little more.
