The big money in universities is remedial education. At no level do i think that is a good thing.

I was fortunate enough to be too old before the bullshit of education degrees, my first degree out of the dugout, the prof who could teach the rest of them both knowledge and experience that the rest of the department envied, only had a 2 year degree and 23 years experience of working with electricity and electronics. That man would not be employable in an education setting these days.

Hell my worst experience in secondary education was screwing up and taking a course with the guy who wrote the text book (poorly). However that first guy with just 2 years of education taught me more then the rest of them combined in an engineering discipline.
