Ken, I totally agree with your statement about being in the field and the educational process.

I am a registered Architect, and was required to do a internship for a minimum of 3 years prior to taking the licensing exams. It was a time that was well used in actually learning the profession. Sadly the educational system is strong on theory and lacking on hands on practical problem solving.

I think you can probably relate this to any field. I drove a tractor trailer in the NW putting myself through college. I still say to this day, long after my truck driving days have been over, that all drivers should be required to ride in a big rig to understand how much is required for drivers to maneuver and stop a rig that was 80,000 pounds.

Education is what you make it in any field.
