Is university still a good investment?

[Bibi]

relating back to my undergraduate days and now in the working world, I think for the next generation's benefit universities curriculum should definitely be further improved, at least to be more skill oriented

The government wants to make engineering here cool again and wants more engineers, but i'm seeing more "talkers" now rather than "doers", and ironically "talkers" are occupying most of the managing positions. I think we need more skilled ppl now, and education plays a big part in it

Its the Spore culture or it happens to other countries as well? When one did very well as a doer, he will be identified and promoted as a talker. So in the end, all the good doers end up as talkers.
