Letters to the Editor: Community colleges are a beacon of hope and opportunity for returning students (via latimesopinion )
being able to out-earn, depending on their major, those who attended universities considered highly prestigious.
I spent 25 years as a counselor at San Bernardino Valley College and Santa Monica College assisting people whose lives would be forever changed because of the great programs in the CSU and community college systems.It distresses me that the major focus of a college degree is still income. Yes, income is important, but it should not define the value of one’s major.
Regardless of major, a college education is meant to enrich a person intellectually and to provide the critical thinking skills that are developed in every major. An educated people are a better people. I hope our states will come to realize this and adjust their education budgets accordingly.There’s little question that a degree in ethnic studies will earn you far less than majoring in a field that, say, contributes to developing artificial intelligence.
This article, however, reinforces the desperate attempt by the political right to further dumb down America. Banning books, propaganda masquerading as news and the ongoing damage done by social media are targeted at curtailing education and enlightenment.
