I don't feel like any of my 4 years was a waste. The general education and pre-requisites are actually important for people functioning in the real world. The European system just teaches some of those classes in high school, which we also do here if the kids sign up for them.The two large problems with our college system are the exorbitant costs and the undergrad system in general. We should really move toward the European system as I understand it, which skips the 2-4 year of undergrad generalneducation and pre-requisites and go straight into the field that you want right out of high school. This does create more pressure in high school to do well and to actually have a better primary education. College would then become more selective, but it does cut down on cost as well as eliminate college drop out rate. Then we have more people become part of the work force sooner rather than waste 4 year in our undergrad system.
