Do You Have a College Degree?

[Brisco Bold]

Yeah, I can't spell worth of shit either. You know what though with Firefox it takes 1/3rd of a second to right click over a word and pick the right spelling of it. I mean shit the program underlines miss spelled words in red, so it stands out.

Yes, but—and I'm not picking on anybody—you need to tell the difference between the correct word and a malapropism.

If stopped misspelling things, used correct grammar and researched every point I ever made, what on earth would you people have to bitch about?

I'm thinking of you.

You can see the difference here at the University of PR. Half of the Eng. faculty are literature people, and the other half are TESOL. The lit. people fucking despise the others.

I never really despised anyone for what they studied, I don't really get that.

Except sociology majors, they're just asking for it.

Except sociology majors, they're just asking for it.

So what do you want to do with your major? Be a socialist?

[Mr-K]

I have a few friends that were sociology majors. Two are in a ska band, the other works at a collectively owned organic restaurant.

"Hey, I'm a sociology major. My opinion on everything means more than yours because I've studied how groups of people interact. I HAVE CHARTS AND READ THINGS IN THE LIBRARY. DURP DURP DURP."

[Master of 7s]

BA in Psychology and Sociology from San Jose State. Both of which have been surprisingly effective in helping me deal with the hordes of idiots I deal with in retail on a daily basis.

After so many years in my glorified babysitter's position I finally told my boss to "fucking demote me before I kill somebody".

Most schools offer three types of English majors:

• literature (read lots of shit and write about it)
• creative writing (write lots of shit and talk about it)
• secondary education (basically a theory and practice approach to teaching)

Most literature people I know get into the publishing industry or go teach with the intention of using it to further their career in scholarly research.

Secondary education people go teach for the fun of it.

Dunno what most writing people do. Right now I just do poorly compensated freelance work and am getting my portfolio ready for graduate school.

[Mr-K]

I took one creative writing class in school and it was a pretty massive waste of time.

Although I did write a porn story
