If you want to take gender studies, that’s fine, go to a private school. But I don’t want to subsidize that if that’s not going to get someone a job.”

This quotation is an excellent of a particular anti-intellectual view of education that is held by a significant number of Americans. For them, the only societal purpose of education is to prepare students for jobs, not to improve the intellectual quality of life for the student and not to make him/her a better citizen by learning our history and developing critical thinking skills. They argue that education will enlighten students and make them better citizens and better developed people, independent of their vocational choices. They do not claim that schools should not prepare students for jobs, but that job preparation is not the major or only purpose of education.

Starting in high school and continuing through our higher education system, we must ensure our students are on the right path to acquiring marketable skills that will lead to a productive and satisfying career. My goal is for every student to get a job after they graduate – not move back in with his or her parents. To do that, we must emphasize skill attainment in our community colleges and universities, use our resources more efficiently and measure success in a comprehensive way.
