So there’s a college nearby called Walsh College
and they specialize in business. I think that makes sense, lots of people know they want to go into some aspect of business, marketing, accounting, whatever, and going to a place that focuses on that makes good sense to me.
But what rubs me the wrong way is their commercials. They talk about how they don’t have any “fluff classes”, just business classes. I find that so odd as a selling point - the science courses I took in college were my primary focus, but the liberal arts core classes that everyone had to take were interesting to me and also taught me some important things.
I went to a technical school that focused on engineering, and lots of people grumbled about having to take classes that didn’t have to do with their major. I never really go that, I guess, and I’m sure I’m richer for learning about philosophy and history and literature. So why is being well-rounded so unappealing?

Because these aren’t people who want to be educated they just want a job. Bottom line thinking.
