I completely agree with everything this post said.

I think I sort of have to disagree with you. I'm in my third year of pharmacy school and while I agree that some classes don't really make a difference, the majority of my classes certainly built a foundation for the practical and clinical aspects of pharmacy I'm learning now. For instance, knowing O-Chem, which has already been used as an example, means you can interpret the structure of the drug. You can predict its kinetics, drug interactions, and even relative degree of potency.

And like I said, the knowledge you gain in science courses build up. To know infectious disease and treatment, you need to know organic chemistry and microbiology, which was built on anatomy, general bio and general chem.

I never thought Ninja would EVER question the value of his education.

I am an Australian solicitor, in my state, after completing two degrees, there is a practical legal training component of about 3 months class time 3 months training in a firm which is required to be admitted at law.
My friend, after working for 6 months once told me he believed that if you could get into the last 6 months of practical legal training it would teach you what you needed with out a degree.
Now, I appreciate my studies, I don't use most of my theoretical knowledge everyday but I rely on my research skills and the broad understanding of law that I gained in my 6 yrs of study. The U.S. system sounds quite different though.

I have been saying this for awhile now. Most jobs should be learned by apprenticeships, not degrees. It would be much easier to get people into a career that they like and cheaper too.
