The Old Dog Asks: Is College or University The Only, The Better Way? What About Apprenticeships?

in apprenticeship •  8 years ago  (edited)

The issue is: "In this moment I am not using anything that I learned".

School is not supposed to tell you how to work. This is more a training. School is based on the idea that "if you stretch a brain, likely it will not come back to the same size". So the idea is to stretch your brain to make it bigger, plus some background and good practices - by example, to learn "how to study, how to learn more".

So yes, school is useful not because the things you study are useful: school is more like jogging. You go nowhere useful, but you make your body better. Just applied to the brain.

Good points. For me college and University did stretch my brain. Now I just need a bigger head! :)
