If we are being honest, very few students go to university to learn and even fewer what is taught in classes.

I didn't spend 60K out of intellectual curiosity. I was interested in a ladder to multi six figure tech jobs. The actual classes did nothing to get me into those. Only algorithms was related to that goal. Physics and chemistry certainly didn't do anything for me.

All the things he complains about students not doing? None of them go on a resume. None come up in an interview and it is a rational response to changing incentives.
