    Columbia University Offers OWS Class

     
    Columbia University's Dr. Hannah Appel is now offering a new class called Occupy the Field: Global Finance, Inequality, Social Movement.

    http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/columbia_offers_occupy_PKetTw1QSVVk23BllNN0DL

    The course will require enrolled students to get involved in an OWS project outside the classroom.

    While this sounds interesting, I wonder how this will prepare students for gainful employment once they graduate from college.

    With there being such a high price tag on higher education these days, can students really waste their precious education dollars on a class like this?

    Maybe there is more value to the class that I am able to discern or maybe this course speaks volumes about why the kids graduating from college are not prepared to compete for the available jobs in our nation.
