I dont understand this, they want us to study all this shit on science, history, math, english and when we get our career jobs most jobs dont require what we studied. I think its all bs and a waste of time. I know it means alot of we have a higher education but come on we wont use it.

Its so were well rounded and know a little about a lot of things.
Im in graduate school and just had a comp.class that i was told at the beginning of the course it would be obsolete. I asked the instructor why we were learnin it and he said it was to learn how to learn.
I say cut the bullshit and if I want to be a Lawyer then let me study law and f*%k all the other bullshit

learn how to learn.....you hear that ALL THE DAMN TIME. I think that post-secondary education should be more focused on the intended field of study, thus lessening the time needed to complete one's degree by at least a semester, maybe two. Why should students go deeper in debt just so the school can rake in cash for courses/books that are completely irrelevant in the workforce?

Goliath is so right guys!! The general knowledge you get from higher education will really help you in so many indirect ways once you get out in the real world and have to deal with people in a professional manner. I have my degrre in Computer Science, but my job is in the health and fitness field...go figure. However, I don't regret for one minute getting my degree. It has helped me make so many intelligent decisions and made me much more business savvy!! Stay in school JUICE, you will be so thankful when you finish....mark my words, brotha!!! ;) :)Originally posted by goliath
just wait till you get out in the corporate world. you will be singing a different tune.

i back them both up. that saying education is wasted on the youth is so true. i'm only 26 but i already wish i paid more attention the time i was there. i deal with so many different people in business, its real nice when i can sit down with a client and really discuss something that has nothing to do with my business but has everything to do with their interests. and it really sucks if i can't talk for more than 5 minutes cause i'm ignorant to the subject.
