The Whining and Bitching Thread

Oh my god, people actually do that? It doesn't take a degree to read a library book or online news article database. I guess some people cash in for school and check their common sense at the door. That is incredibly annoying.

This. The problem is they learned something in school 10-20 years ago and just sit on that knowledge the rest of their lives.

That's stupid, the whole point of school (aside from becoming more employable with your shiny degree) is to learn effective ways of critical thinking/writing so that you can get the most out of CONTINUING TO LEARN STUFF

While that might be the idealogical goal, it is not reality.
 
Yeah, I've heard some unbelievable stories from people who went to big universities and state schools - like they didn't go to lectures all year and bought their papers from paper mills. Makes me pretty sad considering I actually applied myself to some degree in school and couldn't/wouldn't get away with that crap.

That is the silliest webcomic ever!

What the heck is a "communications" major? It has a rep along with business and psychology as being a bullshit major yet I don't even know what it is

at least at my college, it's now Communications Studies. They look at things like rhetoric and how information is conveyed through different media. It blends a lot of areas of gender, social, and media studies

also :rolleyes: at dak's comic :lol:
 
Psych is not a bullshit major. Clinical psychology is bullshit wishy-washy stuff. Social psych is as legitimate as any other social science.
 
communications sounds interesting! wasn't offered at my school though :(

clinical psych is more $$$ than social psych isn't it?

whatever HISTORY is the only REAL major

:lol:

What exactly was your perception of me before? And how is it different now?

I could do the whole wizard hat meme right now, but I don't have it memorized and don't want to type it wrong and look like a net noob.

It's actually a monk meditating in space, so fuck off. :)
