I've seen several people go from new factory worker, to production lead, to maintenance tech, and after they completed an engineering degree, become an engineer.

Engineering is among the more legitimate fields of study in higher education. It isn't so open to interpretation and opinion, and there are occupations which require that knowledge.

I was working on completing an AA transfer degree while I pondered what field of study to major in, but lost interest while also advancing my IT career.

I'd have teachers that would skip sections of a sociology course because it didn't align with their agenda to teach that people with fewer economic means are only in that position due to oppression, and that other factors such as competence, or cultural values, has nothing to do with it.

It's one thing to be entitled to a myopic view of something, but entirely different if I'm paying to "be educated", but instead am paying to be indoctrinated. They need to be paying me if they want me to sit through propaganda.
