Homemaking courses aren't degree level
Anybody who studies for a degree is self-driven and can identify and learn the basic skills they need for themselves. Courses for this can already be found in night time courses at the local school. University is for high-brow thinkers, rather than practical workers. The courses should reflect this.
I'm sorry, I forgot. It is possible to create an institution devoted to learning but not thinking. I guess this course will be needed for the people they intend to enrol.

Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?
- Mark Renton, Trainspotting.
