Interesting. I'm not interested in debating the 'value' of a degree and
exactly how that his defined but I did want to address this point briefly.
At the college where I am currently teaching, we have an independent study
requirement, that is, in their senior year the students have a field work
experience. Placements vary about as much as they should with of course
(much to my dismay *sigh*) the majority being in clinical settings. Many of
our students do go on to graduate school (not the _worst_ way to spend a
few years) but many also FIND JOBS either where they were placed, or in
some similar job due to their experience.
The "do you want fries with that" assumption about a bachelors degree in
psychology is overstated, but I do sleep a little better knowing that
students who come here may actually find gainful employment. Hey, we can't
all be computer scientists. ;-)
A whole post without profanity OR an insult.
On the road to recovery,
Dave ;-)
