I was looking at a house for my son to rent his senior year at college

would have finally been ready for employment...

There are plenty of occupations where 4 years of college is not enough.

The interesting thing is after 16 years of education all he has learned
is how to learn. Probably still can't fix a leaky faucet, replace a
light switch, or any other myriad of things a rounded person should be
able to do in every day life, let alone a marketable skill. I can't
think of anything useful that should take 16 years of study before
actually doing something, including brain surgery.
