if we want to educate people 'how people work', companies should be hiring interns and teaching them how people work. university education should be about education (duh) and deep diving into a few specialized topics, not job preparedness. AI makes this disconnect that much more obvious.
If that was the model all but a small handful of universities would be shut down tomorrow. It’s impossible to fund that many university degrees without the promise of increased earnings after completion.
So shut them down. What’s the point of having them anyway if the value proposition is only a long expensive internship with negative value outputs? Have the interns do actually useful stuff.
