i will be the last to advocate less education as opposed to more education, but they do have to somehow make it a bit more relevant. as a college student i did physical chemistry, and calculus, and biochem, and all the "fun" and difficult things, but if i didn't go into medicine, i could have wiped my bootie with my diploma. and even though i did go into medicine, i have NEVER used any of my organic chem, or physical chem, or calculus knowledge....(or lack thereof now), and that is considering that biochem major had included the most courses required for entrance into medschool...
