Stream: The Universe of Creativity |
A broadly educated person will find a job, but a narrow focus on job training ignores the
very skills that employers most desire: the ability to think clearly and the ability to
communicate effectively. Employers want people who are familiar with the five basic
fields of study; they prefer to provide their own job-specific training. The Personal skills
most valued by employers–creativity, flexibility, discipline, and the ability to work
cooperatively with others–are all skills emphasized in aesthetics. |

The true purpose of education is the pursuit of truth and beauty, the development of
human capacities, and the improvement of the quality of life. Moreover, nothing does
more than aesthetics to contribute to that purpose. It is shortsighted and misguiding to
emphasize on preparing students to earn a better living at the expense of preparing
them to live a better life.
