Really, it's not a question of tradies vs stemcels. It's more a question of the economy and society in general becoming overly specialized. In order to do anything of value these days, you must become an expert in a particular discipline. This necessarily means you are forced to miss out on other knowledge. Society doesn't reward generalists as much anymore. Since your job is just 1 thing and you do that for like 30+ years, you end up kind of stuck in your way of thinking. A skilled tradesman gets extensive knowledge and education in his particular trade, but misses out on the general information one would think would be relevant to a general understanding of existence. For a functional democracy, most people ought to be well versed in science, math, history, economics, art, law, psychology, business, trades, war/defense etc. It's impractical for most people to obtain this education while the economy really forces them to specialize.

x professor teaches x student x formula. have fun only knowing how to plug in formulas

i thought generally speaking pre-reqs are considered useless (though it depends on what you do). it's supposedly in the specialization that college differentiates itself from high school education for example; or even the difference between majors like psychology and a high level physicist or brain surgeon or something.
is it in the general knowledge or specialization that college is "special"?
