Something tells me that a college that produces students that think throwing rocks at people with guns is a good idea is either really, really bad or run by Hamas.

It doesn't matter to me what you get a degree in, as long as you get a career in the field.

What bothers me is that in some cases you are required a college education, but NOT a degree in the same field as the job for which you're applying.

They want proof that you can shovel shit and slip through the cracks for four years before they'll hire you to waste company time.

College is social bias in action.

Are you white and middle-class? Do you have affirmative action? Do you have legacy/patronage?
Or are you PWT? Minority without legal or political affiliation? Lower middle class living hand-to-mouth?

That is the real, actual reason for the status quo. That is why colleges are basically mills and the most banal fucks on the planet spend four years there to get an increasingly meaningless seal of social approval.

This is also why colleges are fervently opposed to both exit exams and use of standardized testing. Because social bias is fundamentally opposed to meritocracy. They don't like fair and equitable systems that leave no room for bias. That is why all entrance and exit selections are subjective.

My wife is one of those types. She got her undergrad in economics but went on to work in the geospatial intelligence community which isn't remotely close to economics. The company she interned with all throughout college picked her up as a full-time and gave her a job that she loves. All is well that ends well, I guess.

I wouldn't mind people getting jobs out of their fields so much if college wasn't such a big "HEY YOU HAVE TO COME HERE, but you can kinda do whatever you want."

Cincinnati, Columbus, and the suburbs of Cleveland are all pretty civilized places.

Once you get out of the cities, however, the entire state goes to shit.

Don't you live in a state where half the population is inbred?

Aw, are you mad I'm talking shit about your little piss-infected cum bubble of a state? You look mad with how you want to attack Virginia in retaliation. By which standard do you wish to say Virginians are inbred?

Do we have less college educated? Do we not have enough diversity? Do you think we're all a bunch of sister-fucking farmers or something? Maybe we're not as wealthy?
