#9 In the late 60's early 70's, the University of Oregon had a mushroom identifying class, and I remember in high school, my English teacher using Simon and Garfunkle, that we listened to and studied the lyrics. This crap has been going on for much too long. I remember something written about how Americans number high in being Art majors, while immigrants number high in most of the engineering programs. A very sad trend. |

#8 College, like much of our existence, is just another big sewer of life. You only get out of it, what you put in. |

#7 Christ. Seven years of college down the drain. Might as well join the f*cking Peace Corps. |

#6 Maybe I could be a university professor, too. My students will all sit around and watch the latest Britney video while I run off to the bank to deposit my latest ginormous research grant and get back before they're done watching it for the fourth time. |

#5 I'm also really irked about Big Academia, which cheerfully accepts ginormous tuition checks and tractor trailers full of federal grant money, then pats the matriculee on the head and sez "go watch TV and drink some coffee. Remember to vote Democrat!" |

#4 Sea, the keyword is "productive". It is a concept that my be quite unknown to a large segment of the moonbat species. |

#3 I'm no economist, but somehow I think that paying a minimum of $125,000 to watch Star Trek and drink coffee is a waste of about $124,950 and four potentially productive years. |
