Relevance in education is key. A boy asked his teacher, "How's Algebra going to help me in life?" The teacher blinked and stood there, looking dumb founded. Google's intent focus on relevant courses that help further their growth as a company or other companies is a step in the right direction. There are sadly many tens of thousands of students who have spent lots of money on college courses and haven't gotten far in life in terms of jobs and success. I have always been a proponent of getting trained at vocational skill schools and colleges.
