Another problem is that colleges, merely to make as much money as possible, expect their students to take courses which are not even geared toward the careers for which the students are striving.
Quote:Albert Einstein:
"School failed me, and I failed the school. It bored me. The teachers behaved like Feldwebel (sergeants). I wanted to learn what I wanted to know, but they wanted me to learn for the exam. What I hated most was the competitive system there, and especially sports. Because of this, I wasn't worth anything, and several times they suggested I leave."
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.
