You can learn Shakespeare and economics in audit only community college courses. Unless you teach Shakespeare, you will never use it. You are missing the point. Which is that most HS grads would be better served at ITT, vs the money they would be forced to spend at many private and public universities. Graduating with degrees in human studies and taking classes like those mentioned above is a waste of money. Because most students don't go to college to broaden their horizons. They go so they have better employment opportunities. And to party. If you want to pretend that Shakespeare, vampires, and wu-tang clan are worth $50k a year, I can't stop you.You're confusing a college education with ITT Tech. If you're able to appreciate a Shakespeare Sonnet and at least understand the concepts of economics and the sciences if not the details, the money was spent wisely. If you got all tha tin high school you were either very bright, or very lucky in terms of the high school you attended.
