Ever seen a mechanic or wood worker using simple tools solve a complex problem and do an expert job? Conversely, have you ever seen some one with all the state of the art tools completely mess up a job?

I think the colleges provide the tools for any field of study, I’m not sure practical application and problem solving are up to speed. And in any profession, attitude empowers competence.

The smart person knows what he don’t know, and awareness along with problem solving points the way to the next level of competence. But only if that same person is responsible, willing, and dedicated. Without the core values, any set of educational milestones achieved fall short of producing truly beneficial results. If the problem to be solved is not accurately identified upfront, no amount of skills or education will solve the wrongly identified problem with the wrong solution applied, no matter how technically qualified one may be.

Darn....and I did all that on just one cup of coffee. 😂

Saw the chart with business leading the fields of endeavor.

Thought: if business education focuses on profit and advertizing, do the graduate students enter the work place and conduct their jobs with business ethics?

Isn’t that a lot of what we all see and feel? In all aspects of live we are confronted by what we are told, vs what it is, so we decide on an action or product that delivers more benefit to the business than the individual. Not all businesses. There are still people and business that deliver as much or more than they promise, under promise and over deliver. But so many advertisers, businesses, and business people I feel have fallen into the habit of “ over promise, (advertise) and under deliver ( product performance).

Business ethics, integrity, sincerity appear to be in very high demand yet short of supply

In a macro way, this all stems from industrialization and the rise of regional, then national, then global corporations. Once business owners lost touch with the communities they served (as in the old mom/pops), they also lost accountability. Accountability to shareholders is a much different thing than accountability to customers.

Well said. At some point accountability to shareholders became more a matter of “ profit by any means” vs the responsibility for good stewardship and prudence with investors funds including full funds accountability. I would like too see the Fed gov and Irs as well as FTC enforce higher ethical standards, so share holders can invest in companies that conduct business aggressively and ethically. A thought, shareholders are a firm of corporate customer. They too exchange their personal funds for the fund management service provided by the business entity. As such, as a good Stewart, conducting legal operations insures the investing customer does not find himself in an “ Enron” type situation. Just thoughts.

A liberal arts degree in gender studies, or a liberal arts degree in english lit, or whatever, IS NOT a freaking education.

We created 18 **** tons of idiots..............Educated IDIOTS who cannot get a job. NOT because jobs are not out there, but because they are literally the most ignorant and uneducated Americans in a generation......or maybe 2.

Agreed and especially that part of the education system that failed to engrain fundamental values such as work ethics, responsibility, accountability, and team work.

Bush really screwed up when he sent us into Afghanistan without an exit plan and just let our troops linger around there getting killed for no real reason.

Trump is the deep state but he lost the election and is in need of donations for his new social media company. Good luck with that.

The strongest correlation anyone has found concerning vaccine rates is education; the more educated people are, the more likely they are to be vaxxed.

More utter BS from a .gub worker. The only thing certain is your education on subject is severely lacking.
