Wow, when education is subordinated to a very specific goal, it's very dangerous. And it will greatly change education as we know it. Critical thinking and comprehensive knowledge will no longer be needed, as you already said. Poor America. This reminds me of slavery, when people were taught only enough to understand and obey orders.
A man wants to lose 20 pounds. He goes to his doctor who recommends a more healthy diet and increased exercise. She tells him over 6 months he should lose 20 pounds.
He then asks a venture capitalist who tells him that he knows a much more efficient way for the man to lose 20 pounds which would save him 6 months.
The man chooses the venture capitalist - who cuts off his leg.
Then he bills him twice the cost of a doctor's visit.

Exactly. When we limit anyone to a very narrow path, there is no room for growth or exploration
