    What’s wrong with turfgrass science? I want my fairways and greens in pristine condition.

    Nothing that you don't need a four-year university education to understand.

    But you are assuming I have to take your word for it that your post accurately reflects current college curriculum -- when I just showed you your post included wildly outdated information about college programs which were discontinued years ago.

    You actually have no idea what is involved in turf management, black smithing and metallurgy, floral design, pop music management, except for what you might frantically google about it.

    So you are not in a position to say how much education is required, are you?

    Now, if you just want someone to apply fertilizer and mow the grass, that is clearly menial labor which does not require a college degree in turf management.

    But turf management as an accredited profession undoubtedly requires knowlege and coursework in horticulture, plant genetics, soil science, water science, pesticides and fertilizer management, business administration and accounting, technical writing and public communications skills.

    That said, there are many useless courses that have no worth whatsoever in career advancement. Unless you're teaching transgender studies in Pakistan...
    Agree that the business of metallurgy and soil and plant management require a high degree of knowlege and business acumen if one is to succeed.

    On the other hand, this is a free country, not Mao's China or Pol Pot's Cambodia. Not every higher education class taken has to be directly related to promoting the success of business or the State.

    What is the point of having an advanced, western liberal democracy if Deplorables are going to yell at teenagers and young adults for taking classes in philosophy and Russian literature.

    Well said. And the loudest yellers never took either. Easy to decry that which you know nothing about.

    Instead of making higher ed free, let's make the free ed K-12 do a better job of making an employable graduate. Notice I didn't say turn it into a trade school, I said better job.
