And anyone who's had an antique silk shatter in their hands would
benefit from an understanding of silk post-processing.
Of course, but my point is, do they teach you about _antique_ silk
processing in such programs? My sister-in-law certainly got no
historical education--they gave her practical information that would
enable her to get a good job in a modern factory.
I certainly think, since many topics are fascinating, that the student
has to made a decision as to whether they are going to graduate school
strictly because they enjoy learning, or because they need the degree
for a job after graduation; and that the courses they take should be
chosen with that goal in mind.
