The Dwindling Power of a College Degree
#11
RE: The Dwindling Power of a College Degree
It's not that college is worthless, but the amount of work between something like Computer Science and Physics against, say, English, Philosophy, Women's Studies, Sociology is staggering. I know engineers who are abusing Adderral and amphetamines because staying up for that hour longer makes all the difference between being behind the curve or being AT the curve. I would stay up days at a time preparing for a midterm and still get the average score.

What would my roommates, my friends roommates, the entire GODDAMN non-hard science/non-hard engineering side be doing? Bitch about a paper that they end up writing in a drunk haze (aka a rant) and sleep most of the time.

Whereas the hard science/engineering groups are working their asses off for deliverables, motherfucking business majors with 1/10th the major stress and the highest average GPA would be partying at the frats across the street, freely trading coke and heroin.

I lived in an engineering fraternity for three years. And I can tell you one thing -- for a fraternity, they partied at most once every two weeks, and usually for one day (Thursday). The worst I ever saw in drugs was marijuana, adderrall and mdma. No coke, no heroin, nothing of that sort. Maybe a few psychedelics here and there, but that was the extant.

So yeah, college degrees are devalued because of the disparity in work.

FYI -- engineering usually has, on average, the lowest GPA's per any major (at least at UCLA). Business usually has the highest average GPA. Who does real work? You do the figuring.

lmao, it's not relevant to the conversation but Moros, you put me in mind of something Lewis Black said about pot and business majors taking it over while he was in college and really cheapening the whole "field".

Freely trading coke and heroin is probably a better course in business than anything they're getting in the classroom. Besides, is there a better way to learn that at the highest levels of business the rules don't apply? Wink
