==I really enjoyed college, especially my liberal arts classes.==
I think this highlights the true question. Do colleges exist to promote education and intellectual curiosity or to train workers?
According to PEW, Americans believe colleges are for work training:
"Americans are split on the main purpose of college, with 47% saying it is to teach work-related skills and 39% saying it is to help a student grow personally and intellectually."
