Why Is College Hella Wasteful?

[Diff-chan]

You can't teach a lot of what doctors do in a college class room.

Do you realize how hard it is to get into medical school?

Yes, when it comes to medical school, best = best GPA and best MCAT. Do you want some 2.2 GPA pothead operating on you cause his daddy is rich?

I'm usually on your side, and I don't even know what you're going on about this time.

I'm saying that YOU and anyone like you, has the right to be able to go back to college at any point in your life, assuming you have the money or want to take out a loan.

Many people here are saying that you don't. That you should fuck off and go flip burgers. BUT, college should be free for anyone that was study McNerd Pants and never made an academic mistake iin his life.


Most free colleges in other countries require really high GPAs and test scores. Because you've dropped out a couple times before, and most likely have a couple bad grades from doing so, you'd never be accepted into another college, IF they became free.


I'm essentially arguing for your right to do whatever you damn well please, when you want to do it. They are arguing for a magical university system that is both free and only lets in magical snow flakes with crazy nerd GPAs.

That's not what they are saying at all. But then again, my reading comprehension is pretty low since I bought my degree and didn't earn it.

I'm talking about the 4 year degree, prior.

Yes, when it comes to medical school, best = best GPA and best standardized test. Do you want some 2.2 GPA pothead operating on you?

I'm not really worried about there ever being a 2.2 GPA pothead without the skills working on me. Unlike Razor and bbobb's degrees, which apparently aren't challenging, medical school is. You can't just breeze through it or keep paying money.

You actually have to keep trying and going to class. And at the end of the day I don't care if the doctor had a 3.00 or 3.95. There is a point where a difference like that is something simple like one has a better memory or is just better at taking test at 8 am. I'm sure their skill in the real world is comparable, otherwise they wouldn't have gotten through medical school and their internship

They have a reading degree in college? Many maybe I need to look into that. Maybe I could get some easy As to boost my GPA.



And that is exactly what they are saying. They are saying that people like Josh or Pacrappa should not be allowed into college. Because in a free school system, only people that have been playing the academic game for a while would get the scores required to get in. Intelligent but unconventional people would be barred.

Do you understand not everyone will grasp higher concepts? Not everyone is a baby Greenspan, Bill Gates, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Jonas Salk, etc etc. You shouldn't be ashamed of it, either.

You only speak English and Mandarin. Take up cheekish, and everything will become clearly ass backwards

Reading degrees are awesome. You should look into it.

This is pure bullshit, but I didn't realize that until I left school. The difference between a "good GPA" and a "great GPA" is more often than not, pure fucking hard work. Your "good memory" comes from studying the concepts until you can't stand it anymore. You're "better at taking tests at 8 am" because you sleep instead of cramming until 5 am.

Instead of going to parties, you work. Instead of going to the bar, you work. Instead of slacking off that one night because you're "tired", you drink a cup of coffee and hit the books.

I'm not saying you NEED to do this to be successful, but there are a lot of people who do it, and from calling these people "mcNerd pants" with a "nerd GPA" it sounds like you are just jealous.

I know a bunch of people who went to very prestigious medical and law schools, and all they did was study nonstop for four years. They are rewarded for their success by being able to go to these schools and I am sure they will be excellent at what they do and be very well paid, because they paid their dues.

This is America, asshole. We all deserve to be millionaires.
