The primary skills [learned in college] should be analytical skills of
interpretation and inquiry. In other words, know how to frame a
question. How do you evaluate the safety record of an airline? How
do you evaluate the risk when you smoke? . . . In this is also the
capacity for intelligent empathy, the ability to understand the other
side even when you may not share it. You should not be dependent
on the sources of information, either provided by the government
or by the media, but have an independent capacity to ask questions
and evaluate answers.
