Too often, we talk about the wrong things.

Negative perceptions Expensive. Out of reach. Out of touch. Elitist. A rip-off.

Positive perceptions Skills for work. Experience that leads to good careers. An important milestone. Sources of important research.

So what should we be talking about when we talk about what we do?

Knowledge. Not college.

Skills. Not degrees.
