While parts of my college experience did feel like a waste at the time and tbh I still feel like course requirements were set so the university could milk more money from me (I did not need business calculus or biochemistry for my English degree thanks), just having a degree opens many doors that would remain closed without it.

The business course helps people understand how to set up viable businesses if they go into self employment, and biochem just helps you be a well rounded human being. Every degree, imo, needs a broader multidisciplinary curriculum.

I have used business calculus, or any kind of calculus, zero times in my adult life. I have never needed to call on anything I learned in my biochemistry class. So when I'm taking classes I will never use in the future and being charged $13k a year to do it, it feels very useless.

In my program, there were a couple of basic science classes included because in order to advance and really understand the material, people needed to also take an anatomy class and there was no way they were going to really understand it without taking a biology class and a chemistry class first. It also helped if they'd had a basic college Physics class as well.

I run a business. I have literally never needed to use business calculus in my life.

Okay, if we're going to talk about annoyingly privileged perspectives, THIS^ is a great example!

The idea that people ought to be spending thousands and thousands of additional dollars with no direct purpose in particular, but just so they can be "a well-rounded human being" is an incredibly privileged argument.

John Mulaney's joke, otoh, was just funny and mostly true.

I think the real problem here is that people in the US have to pay thousands (let’s be real, more like fifty to a hundred thousands) to get that kind of education, not that a multidisciplinary approach to higher education is bad. Without well-rounded education, you end up with a populace that’s lacking in critical thinking ability and cultural awareness. You get science deniers. But that’s exactly employers want, people who are only capable of doing their jobs AND are too exhausted, debt-ridden,and/or ignorant to think of anything else. Which is exactly why college will continue to be overpriced and the liberal arts derided.

Without a multidisciplinary curriculum, you get a populace of bean counters who know the price of everything and the value of nothing. Knowledge for knowledge's sake is never a waste. However, education prices do need to be more strictly controlled.

Given how badly so many people (in the US and around the developed world) have handled the information deluge over the last couple years, I'm starting to wonder if a lack of a diverse curriculum in college has contributed to this isdue.
