A comment on Lambda School is the biggest mistake I made this year. Parent comment
This seems like a bad frame to look at the situation from. We don’t know what we don’t know, and don’t always actually know what we want.
When I went to university there was a ton that I didn’t know. It took me at least a semester to get accustomed to how the institution ran.
If my university responded only to what I wanted and “needed” then I would be quite worried about the education they are serving.
Also optimizing for employer preferences seems to make sense you know... if you’re focused as a vocational style institute?
