Major: Education (This Major's Salary over time)
I think that the PCC I attended is much different than the one that exists today. While I was taught the PCC "line" about issues, events and philosophies, my teachers were very clear that PCC had a specific point of view for specific reasons, and often my teachers explained those as well. Often (for example, in Bible Doctrines), we were presented with PCC's position, the Scripture to back it, other positions, and the passages that were used to back them. In our education classes, while we had access to other materials and were required to use them for lesson planning, we weren't allowed to discuss other schools' education and points of view—because we weren't to "bash" other places. My teachers were not only qualified in their fields but were true scholars as well.

It seems to me that times have changed! One or two of the people who were hired while I was a student really changed the atmosphere of the school. One of them actually instructed the student body in chapel—about five years after I had been graduated—that the PCC students needed to be "foot soldiers" against the students from another university at their homes over the Christmas holidays. It seems that what was once petty and silly (too many rules, too much in loco parentis) has become sinister and vindictive.

Too bad! What a wasted opportunity!
