Dude,

Thanks for re-posting that clip, as it made me interested enough to read the article.

There are a few potential discussion topics about the article, but one of them is "What is the main point of college?" Is it to "broaden your mind" as some would suggest, or is instead for career preparation.

I believe that the primary purpose of college is career preparation, as there are far cheaper and potentially more interesting ways to "broaden your mind". And given this belief, I think that the professor is about as wrong as he can be.
