Just about every time someone says "college isn't about getting a job, it's about Y," Y is something that's borderline unverifiable, and to the extent that it IS verifiable, the evidence suggests that college does not confer it.https://twitter.com/Austen/status/1068203506841075712 …

My only real point here is that I think when some say “Y is the reason for college” outside of increasing job market prospects, I tend to lean on the side of Y, particularly when it’s just to expand personal knowledge.

Most read books based on prior interests. University is imperfect, but offers incentive to broaden horizons. You’re assuming people are as well read, and have as varied interests as you, Mason. :P

I'm assuming that people who want to read will read, and people who do not want to read aren't going to read even when they're paying roughly the price of a house to be coerced into doing it
