Is the University mission that of a doctor?

The University is in the psyche of Americans from Mian Street to Wall Street. Getting a job and being part of the middle class is a must-have. Americans have a love affair with college, like the prison.  You can see this in the college protests over the Gaza War. Contrary to people’s thinking, the college has had a mission for a thousand years to produce a professor. Also, part of the goals of the college is preserving information, international, public service, and jobs for private industry. Uncle Sam has manipulated the goals of the college and made students think they will get a job with college.  For example, they think of public service jobs associated with college, such as nurses, teachers, firefighters, and public servants. Ivy League doctorates usually get high-level jobs in the cabinet of the President of the United States of America.

 

The jobs that private industry gets when you finish your doctorate at the university include working for Pzier on the COVID-19 vaccine. Some scientists set up their own companies to research different new products. Some doctorates do consulting work for businesses. A minimum wage is available in the private sector or any job. The jobs that doctorates are minimal and narrow.

 

  While it's true that public service roles, often associated with doctorates, are not as prevalent as one might think, the influence of Ivy League universities in shaping such careers is undeniable. The career trajectories of Ivy League graduates, particularly those with doctorates, often lead to high-level positions in the government. For instance, a professor can ascend to Secretary of State, as demonstrated by Henry Kissinger, a Harvard professor who served as the national security advisor and then the secretary of state. Economic advisors, typically Ivy League doctorates, further exemplify the impact of university education on public service. Even consultants for the news media sometimes come from the Ivy League, highlighting the diverse career paths that doctorate holders can pursue.

 

The international mission of the college was manipulated as well. Students come to universities to study from abroad, but the title of doctor carries out the college's goals.  You can go on international expeditions as the leading researcher worldwide on climate change. Archeologists go on a mission to Egypt to study the pyramids.  Most scholars, like in the public service and international goals of colleges, come from top universities like Harvard, Yale, and Oxford.

Another goal of the college is to persevere with information from the past to make a better future. For example, Medieval colleges preserved the ancient Greeks and Romans. Monks preserved ancient texts in the 5th century during the Dark Ages. Archeologists, Historians, and archaeologists are still trying to preserve ancient texts today. However, having a PhD would be best for achieving this goal.

 

In conclusion, the federal government has manipulated the university’s goals. The 19 million college students are wasting their time and money since college only works on its goals. The most important goal of producing a scholar to continue the college mission is not happening until you finish the doctorate. That means the mission of scholarship and delivering the next generation of scholars is not happening at the university.

The case for child labor and alternatives to college

Child labor is illegal in America, and school is compulsory up to sixteen years old.   This made the goals of college a doctor and made some of your youth unemployed. That is in their flower of the youth. Child labor has been around for thousands of years.   In 1938, FDR made work for children illegal, and this was due to the mistreatment of children working in factories. Child Labor has been around in America for all the 250 years of the republic. There are exceptions for child labor, and it is that if you work in some industries. The industries where you can have child labor are entertainment, agriculture, and sports.

Would allowing child labor help break the grip of the doctor with a college degree? Would child labor increase the GDP in America? Can children train as apprentices and even drop out of Elementary School? Can teenagers serve in the Armed forces?

 

One advantage of child labor is that you can drop out of school early and start your career. You can also accumulate more money in your Social Security savings and receive more in retirement. Also, children working in industries could expand the country’s GDP and join the armed forces. It would be best if you had evolution in the classroom for people to work, and today, you have to attend school until you are sixteen. A teenager can train as an apprentice to be a lawyer and a professor.

 

In conclusion, the reintroduction of child labor must be approached with careful regulation. This could open up various job opportunities, from those requiring a college degree to those not. The need for school buses could be reduced as parents could take their children to work. Even if children fall behind in school, they could still work any job and be trained as apprentices, earning a full wage.

 

Apprentices over Brick and Motor Education

College is rooted in the psyche of the American public and the world. However, according to studies for the past two decades, university grads face the unemployment line more than noncollege grads. It is easy to Google search for college grads on the food stamp line. Even a search on your computer would find professors and some physicians needing welfare. Apprentices receive one-on-one training at a lower wage, like the hours required to get an airline pilot license. You can start at a higher rank, work with your family, and bypass school.

Apprenticeships are not limited to fields like sports, military,  airline pilots, and physicians during residency. They have the potential to be applied to a diverse array of jobs in the real world, potentially even replacing the need for a degree. This versatility, a key aspect explored in my book 'Education Mania, 'particularly in the chapter titled 'University the New Doctor, ‘makes apprenticeships such an intriguing and viable option for career development.

Consider the example of an apprentice airline pilot. Their training is not confined to classrooms; they train in simulators and learn from someone with extensive experience. They start their training in a cockpit, side by side with a seasoned pilot.  The FAA sets the regulations for these apprenticeships, ensuring a high standard of training. This practical, mentorship-based approach, which could also be applied in business and other brick-and-mortar schools, offers a unique and valuable learning experience, providing reassurance of its effectiveness. The military is another example of a field that trains there. Troops are in basic training, and they go on to train more. The military constantly trains for war—it practices how to shoot and trains under someone with more experience.

In conclusion, you can apply apprentices to more jobs than I talk about in this article. You do this by investing in apprentices over schools. You do this by putting more money into this. That is in the state and federal budgets. The private sector should invest in training over education. Even universities could train professors as apprentices. That is, instead of doing the five-chapter essay. They could learn to do studies by the number of hours and learn to write books and publish journal articles. Hopefully, apprentices over education will be allowed even when the sun becomes a white dwarf and humanity leaves the solar system.
