Weekly College Bitch-a-thon

[Warik]

The funny thing is that my school doesn't seem to care about the money. They refused to give me credit for English Literature even though I had Advanced Placement credit for it. I even offered to PAY for the class ANYWAY if they would exempt me from it. Fuckers actually said: "No! You have to take the class!" I don't have to do anything you dumb stuck-in-a-dead-end-job bitch!

Warik -

I'm sure your present predicament is a result of poor planning on your part.

Deal with it.

Warik---

Don't complain. Only you have you to blame.

As May said, "Deal With It."

 

[Warik]

I'm sure your present predicament is a result of poor planning on your part.

How so? There is no "planning" to be done. The school decides what my requirements are and the school also decides which classes are taught when. The students have no advance notice of this until a few weeks before choosing classes. I am to blame for nothing.

Deal with it.

I plan to. You think I'm going to sit in a class at 9:30am with 300 people? BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH!!!! They have not yet begun to comprehend who they're dealing with.

If you were smart you would drop out and save your money. Going to college is my biggest regret in life. What a fucking waste of time and money. They ought to offer a class on what to expect when you get out. They could call it..."you won't get a good fucking job, and when you do find a job, you will be lumped in at the same pay as the fucks with GED's"

you won't get a good fucking job, and when you do find a job, you will be lumped in at the same pay as the fucks with GED's"

Very true. I had to go to grad school b/c my english and philosphy degrees basically meant unemployment lines.

Warik -- I think the purpose of the university system is to give you a piece of paper that says you have "staying power" - meaning you were dumb enough to pay them all the money and hang around to complete the never ending list of requirements to get the piece of paper. (I'm *really* good at staying - so I have a couple pieces of paper!)

Anyway, a less painful way to get thru some of the more annoying classes is to see what classes you can do in the summer sessions. They are shorter & more class-intensive, but often they are smaller classes, even for the weed-out classes, and the content isn't necessarily as "thick" as the equivalent classes during the regular school year. Anyway, just a suggestion. Plan ahead, see if you can get some of those credits done in the next 2 summers.

WOW! RyanH and I agree on something. I got an undergrad in finance and that is another term for "call center" or "bank teller" each paying around 27k. The millions you hear about are the people that had money to begin with and could afford to take a job with zero pay, only commision. I can't afford to do that so I am stuck with all the people that dropped out of highschool.

 

[RyanH]

I got a job out of college MP5 with a Bank.

ABSOLUTELY SUCKED. Banks are cheap and notoriously boring. I had to do it for a year. Worst year of my life.

MP5--why don't you get your M.B.A.---that will increase your job prospects, bigtime.
