Fifth year: spent unemployed and depressed because of all the student debt and no marketable skills.
This is a curriculum for future philosopher-kings who never have to worry about such mundane things as money.
That was basically my education (I took 5 years of Latin, 2 of ancient greek, philosophy, literature, art) and the only reason I didn't end up homeless camping out in Lumifer's yard was because I learned how to do marketing and branding. I think having practical skills is a good idea. Trade and Technical schools are a great idea.
