Assignment 4

Dazed and Confused: General Education vs. Career Specialization

Scenario Below:

Joe Tech was really looking forward to college because he thought he would have freedom to select the courses he wanted and the opportunity to get into the major of his choice (computer science). However, he’s shocked and disappointed with his first-term schedule of classes because it consists mostly of required general education courses that seem totally unrelated to his major. He’s also frustrated because some of these courses are about subjects he already took in high school (English, history, and biology). He’s beginning to think he would be better off quitting college and going to a technical school for a year or two so he can get right into computer science and immediately begin acquiring the skills he’ll need to work in the computer industry.
