There were technical schools for those who had the passion for engineering or accounting.

Unfortunately, "boozing and whoring" seem to be what most people specifically go to college to do these days. Many middle and late wave millennials and early wave homelanders have a hedonist-masquerading-as-idealist and moral-relativist-masquerading-as-intellectual approach to life that is most apparent during their college years. I don't think there's much hope in this regard for the middle wave millennials of this ilk (my age cohort), but the late millennials and early homelanders are still young, so they may have some time to correct course.

I'm not saying this out of some moral contempt for the more sensory pleasures of life. What gets me is the way it wreaks of a giant cope, a coverup for crippling anxiety, nihilism and lack of self-regulation and ambition.
