As a college prof, my experience has been that folks don't want an education. They want a piece of paper saying they are educated. I use the "poor substitute for google" line often.
I tell students never in the rest of their lives will you be around such a large concentration of experts in such diverse fields. Don't squander it.
Fortunately, where I am now, students take that to heart, but most other places it is in one ear and out the other.
