Pat McCrory Lashes Out Against 'Educational Elite' And Liberal Arts College Courses

[mwooldri]

36. So, Mr. Gov. McCrory (Duke-Energy), get this over with in K-12!

The typical UNC system 4 year degree is not narrowly focused on the degree title one graduates with. IMO the first 2 years are wasted with courses that could be taught better at High School. So a student graduates with a degree in "gender studies". OK, what courses did they take to get this degree designation? Did they change degree courses mid-stream, which is far easier to do in the US system vs the UK system. My wife graduated with a Liberal Arts degree, but works as a clinical lab technician because she had a whole lot of chemistry and biology courses under her belt as she did switch courses mid-stream.

Again, the career title doesn't tell all of the story. So if Gov. McCrory (Duke-Energy) wants to make it easier for someone to get a more "traditional" workplace degree course, sharpen up the liberal arts in K-12, get more "Early Colleges" in place, and find some money somewhere to pay for the types of classes that he wants to see people taking.

But then as pointed out above, what has his degree course got to do with working for Duke Energy? Where is his engineering background? oops, seems to be missing.
