re: The argument that the US college system is largely a scam

As someone who is almost 40 and has been taking night, online, and a couple of classes at the actual university of Houston campus, I can honestly testify to this. I have an associates and never finished a bachelors. I decided to go back for a project management degree since that is what I do.

There are certain classes or at least core requirement classes that I have had to take that literally make me furious! The justification is of a well rounded education, but for someone who has been in the workforce for over 20 years I can just shake my head and realize that it is just a money scam.

For every class that is worth something there are two that they make you take that are an absolute joke with their basis for any job. I had to take a class that took philosophy principles and made you turn sentences into symbols....symbols!

For instance, Janet likes Jello. J -> J. Then you progressed over the semester to philosophical principals where you would have a dozen breakdown of different symbols

I had to leave work every day and travel to university of Houston main campus to take this shite for a 4 to 515 class then drive 2.5 hours during peek traffic time home to Katy tx all because some liberal douche thought this was important for my education.

Another class was full of kids that of course are so woke and progressive but and they honestly expect the working world of Houston Texas to agree with them. I can’t wait to see them meltdown.

There are a couple more examples but I don’t want to bore you in more than I already have.

I am in my last semester and graduate in December and it will be the best day ever. I’m glad I did it, but my god they did not make it easy
