College

Why the fuck is anyone but scientists going to college?

Why can't all the fucking retards develop an apprenticeship program for all their careers instead of clogging up our learning institutions with worthless degrees.

I'm looking at you basic level programmers, graphic artist/designers, anything considered in the 'arts' and fucking nurses.

Your the reason my tuition goes up because of all the worthless courses you take which you will never use or remember by the time you get a job.

Leave the higher learning for the people who actually LEARN something.

Because arrogant fucks like you forced everyone to have a degree to do the most simple of everyday jobs

moar like corporations/institutions don't want to pay for institutions.

Thats why they subsidize college! Workers and Government pick up the bill and the corporations continue laughing all the way to the bank

Once you get math and the basic understanding of things out of the way, you could probably just dive into research with training along the way.

Could probably achieve a Masters degree in 4 years if we didn't have so many retarded hurdles to jump through

Its like you actually think proper english exists. Some languages have regulatory boards that standardize things and make them official. But not english. If i decide that apostrophes are stupid and i don't want to capitalize anything but the first letter of a sentence, then i am violating only convention, no rule or law.

Enjoy being a sheep.

Agreed. As a poli sci major, it annoys me when I see people in art and philosophy when they could be studying the exact same thing in their spare time while pursuing a noble degree in poli sci. Poli sci and the other sciences need to band together and address this nonsense!

Fuck academia, graduating in the fall, then I'm going for full time practical work. Screw this "everyone has to become a scientist" mentality causing the economic and educational crisis that has erupted in America.

Diploma mills are shitting out thousands of unqualified graduates a year all because of enormous social pressures and mommy and daddy wants little johnny to be a rocket scientist for nasa bullshit, which doesn't help the economy, but rather hurts it because of all the huge disparity between college graduates and available jobs. so they are begging to take even a mcdonald's burger flipping job which they are overqualified for, and the cycle continues.

And before /sci/ trolls inevitably descend on me for not getting a post-doctorate with $100,000+ in debt, I've already gotten 3 full-time position offers, so fuck you all.

Tradeskills and apprenticeships are just as important as scientific endeavours. Without a trained workforce, well, you see the shit that is happening in America: Outsourcing everywhere, overqualified applicants everywhere, etc.

Fuck American academia, fuck it to hell.

you realize that all the countries better than america have even harder immigration requirements than here, right?

if you are moving from a country that isn't in the EU then for example norway is essentially impossible without marrying or having family there, and to get a job in sweden without citizenship your employer has to prove that no swedish citizen could do the job you are being hired for.
