Delta college charges poor girls $25k to become a Licensed Practical Nurse to make $14 an hour if they can find an LPN job. They could skip the "education" and make just as much working the register in the hospital cafeteria, have a better schedule and not have to clean shite. I am not even sure if even rural hospitals hire LPN's anymore.

Education in this country is a joke. The education of educators in this country is a bigger joke. Honestly education in this country at all levels is a joke. You can become an engineer getting 50% on your tests because they round that shite up to a 70 which is a C in Engineering but someone else fails out of a BSN program because you didn't make a 80% on a single test in the program so they have to repeat the semester because under an 80 is an F. Say you want to try a business degree after failing a couple semesters trying to be an engineer and have a 4.0 business GPA but a 1.9 GPA from you failed attempt at Engineering landing with a 2.9 overall. They won't let you IN business school because you were advised to take 18 hours including Calculus, Physics, Chemistry your first semester in school so you could be on track to double major in 3 years and didn't do well. Who the frick taught that adviser how to advise 17/18 year old KIDS if they come to that conclusion. frick the education system. You should be able to become an Engineer, Nurse, Accountant, Manager, etc. etc. without a 4 year university degree. I am not saying you don't need education, but a hybrid classroom/field apprenticeship would be way more beneficial than a Bachelors degree. It won't get better until we take the government out of the system and let the market reshape what kind of education system we need for a modern world.

yep, big rip off. way too many classes that are worthless to a certain extent. But there is something to be said for being educated about a broad range of topics. Its mind blowing to me, daily, the ignorance from otherwise intelligent people on normal everyday topics.

I agree but nobody really takes calculus, chem and physics that isnt really bright and has the background for engineering. First off you cant go directly to calc unless you are pretty damn smart.

second, nobody forced you to take those classes all in the same semester. You knew they would be hard because if you are goign directly into those, you took them in high school. Stop being a douche bag and take personal responsibility for your actions.

third, you can always sit out 5 semester and go work, then declare academic bankruptcy.

again take responsibilities for your actions.
