Well have you considered: how else will the state university's head football coach be the highest paid state employee?

DAE le handegg bad?!


The way they bucket this, science/math majors learn the most followed by humanities/social science majors, followed by engineering majors. But then health, communications, education/social work, and business students learn basically nothing.

PRIORS CONFIRMED

This is healthcare hero and TikTok nurse erasure!

The average student spends 3 hours on studies? And that INCLUDES classes?

At UChicago, you were supposed to take 3-4 classes a quarter and a typical class was supposed to take 10 hours of work per week so you'd have 30-40 hours of work in total. A hard class could be 20 hrs/wk.

More colleges should be like UChicago.

I worked very hard for my degree in PoliSci TYVM! Do you want fries with that?


One of my favorite Professors mentioned once, "D's get degrees, but they don't get you jobs."

I have people at the school I went to who achieved a Bachelor's Degree in 2.5 Years, another became a Producer/Writer at CNN in D.C. + Successful Side-Business, a bunch became Anchors at Regional News Outlets.

And then there's some people who have gone absolutely nowhere in their lives.

I don't know if it has always been like this, but that is insane variance from people coming out of the same program at a smaller University.

It's unironically true that they need more challenging work, why do you think it's Ivy schools with :#bushnelltantrum:and not UChicago or MIT? :#marseyreading:
