If that is their career of choice, or their aspirations, those people likely shouldn't be going to university. That would be an incredible waste of money. But if someone who is highly motivated and capable of applying their lessons in any context, a classical education is never a wrong path to follow. That classical education will help them climb the ladder quicker and result in greater gains for them. Education is for everyone, but a classical education is not for everyone. Some people are better off going to a tech school because of the structure and regimentation the modality and pedagogy relies upon.
