As I was reading the lesson, I found an interesting article on the NY Times News Blog. Stated :
"Schools or colleges have two purposes as far as students are concerned. The first is to educate. The second is to place students in challenging and well-compensated positions after they graduate so they can use their educations to build careers and lives. Along with the quality of the faculty is the effectiveness of the job-placement office. The university is society’s gatekeeper. Students see degrees as tickets of admission to the big show."
Interesting but true! We educate and then place them in careers to build their lives! I want to read that article! Sounds like a good article to share with the staff and faculty here!
