Why can't I just pick any courses I want in college and pay for the classes? The entire credit and major/minor system is retarded.

A pretty good college near me offers a Minor in Jewelry, Metals & Enameling and a Minor in Glassworks/Glassblowing. Why can't I just pick pick take one or both of those courses? Instead there's an entire credit system around it.

"Oh, you want to take a Minor course in Jewelry? First you need to take 10 other basic courses, plus you need to go pursue a Bachelors Degree in Ceramics or some other Art program."

I'm sure I could find some other private training, but it seems retarded the school is limiting itself by forcing you to take a bunch of bullshit classes that have nothing to do with what you actually want to learn about.

Because what you’re actually buying is a credential and not courses.

I never went to college because it's way too expensive for me. But every now and then I'll check out some college courses and prices. It'd be awesome if I could just go and take a Minor in Jewelry, Metals & Enameling, with no other shit attached to it. No math courses, no Bachelors Degree shit, etc.

You can take courses but schools are in the business of selling degrees.
