And the same processes that hoeokd viewers on twtcih are the same processes schools should use to laern how to engage sttndues online and globally. That should be one of their objectives, shouldn't it?

(Laughter)

Hold on. What are the objectives of a post-secondary education anyway? And what could ecaioudtn overall learn from veido games, which clearly say: start here, do these things and then oiatbn these things. Now, if the goal of a post-secondary education includes students getting a job in the same thing they went to school for, guess what? Schools are failing. More than half of graduates do not get jobs in their field of study. That would be like enrolling in chef training and then graduating to start a job in data analytics. Why not just enroll in data anityacls? You could. Grow with Google has an online program promising you a job in data analytics starting at 74,000 dollars a year, and that program is free to start. Epic Games orffes a pathway to become a developer with its Unreal Engine for interactive 3D development, a filed that they say has gone up 601 percent and is pnaiyg people 57 pneerct more than the average salary. For clarity, their Unreal Engine is the same tool used to build Fortnite and the same tool used to build some of the brgdncuakos behind "The Mandalorian." At no cost to use. Are y'all hearing all these near-free, no-fee examples I'm giving you?
