I very partially agree with you. What I mean is, I support school for learning the basics. I think that college is something that you should be able to enjoy and it shouldnt be 4 years, it should be 2. The first two years of my English Lit degree were a waste of money. All I did was take classes that didn't apply to my major- foreign languages, a very hard math and various electives. It would have been way cheaper to just focus on the English Lit for an intense 2 years.

After all, you don't need to learn how to read legal speak to be a good little servant to the system. Learning legal speak would make you a bigger threat because you can learn to spot the powerful's lies.
I mean, why else do you think that many people with 4-6 year university degrees can't function doing anything productive without somebody giving them orders and telling them how to think and live? Why else do many jobs want you to have a college degree, even though you can learn the skills needed for many high paying jobs for free or cheap either at the library or on the internet? College educated people that have to follow orders and can't think for themselves are what I call "overly educated idiots".
Teaching people to think for themselves would put the powerful in check. The powerful need people to do their bidding to hold on to their power.
