I mean college is cheating them out of 200k plus of money so do you blame them?
Only in the USA
That’s always been my issue. I worked full time and went to school full time when I was in college and still had to take out some loans. I did have some scholarship money that covered about half of it, but they only covered four years. My degree path didn’t have any free electives meaning in every assignment, test, and class I only had a single shot. Failing would likely mean having to retake a class and push graduating out to a year which would have doubled the amount of debt I came out with. All just to get a piece of paper that would allow me to do the job that I knew I would be good at and enjoy.
The entire course of my life was at the mercy of some bad teachers and worse bureaucracy. I get that my profession shouldn’t just hire people without any kind of training and hope for the best, and there were things I learned that had value, but the stakes and imbalance of power is so high I can’t really be mad at some one “cheating” when they themselves are getting royally fucked.
Yes, wholeheartedly. They’re not cheating the school—they’re cheating themselves. If you’re paying 200k+ for an education, for what earthly reason would you then skip the actual education?
Please go on tell me again how college actually translates to working a real job. What’s the point of knowing anything you can look it up just as fast. Also as fast as tech changes it’s not worth it to commiting time and energy beyond the basic understanding of things.
@al_Kaholic @platypode not my usual content, but isn’t college about teaching a way for thinking and critical analysis rather than learning by rote? Obviously the bar is raised nowadays, not only do you have to be a critical thinker, you need to be smarter at analysis and insight than AI. ‘Knowing things’ is for school, it is not advanced education
Have you met anyone in America with critical thinking skills? Where is this magical city? You are the reason that the colleges can scam 200k because you think that being in college and getting a piece of paper is the only way to gain this knowledge
Yeah, this guy is either trolling or doesn’t have the faintest clue what a good education actually comprises.
