I think more industries need to adopt the tradesmen style apprenticeship before allowing someone to pursue post-secondary education. They should also be forced to employ apprentices before being able to hire someone with a degree -- too many students exit university with no real-world experience or any idea what their work will be like once their degree is complete.

If you really, really want to do a 3 year philosophy degree, I think should at least have to do a year as an apprentice philosopher.
