What Do College Students Do All Day? The Answer Isn't Studying

To what end, all that work? If ultimately to enrich Capitalists, that&#x27;s not a train I want to ride or indoctrinate anyone else to ride (I&#x27;m a teacher). How much time does it take to meet our needs in a community living on healthy land, with access to clean air and water? That might well fill our days, but I&#x27;d consider bonding with others to be a basic need, something many college students do.<p>Also, this focus on STEM is harmful. Even STEAM isn&#x27;t enough. History, Philosophy, Languages, learning about arts and cultures- these are as, if not more, important than learning how to convert minerals into tools, because they get at the Why.
