College the institute of higher education. Yeah right, that's what it used to be but not so much anymore. Everyone thinks that they are entitled to go to college. We need to go back to having a focus on getting the intelligent people into college and less intelligent people need to go straight to work after high school. We need a way to evaluate the intelligence of everyone and only allow those that qualify to get a degree in certain areas. Wait we do it's called the ACT. Stop letting people in on restrictions and send them into the workforce. We need people to "Go Build Alabama." You don't need a college degree to do manual labor or flip burgers. If that was to happen then people in college would be able to get an actual education and not a piece of paper that says they completed x number of classes. People would actually get to learn and get into jobs that fit their education instead of fighting for and losing jobs because there is a moron with the same degree as them.
P.S. I commented on Susan's blog
Dude, all I can say is IKR. You're on to a point. my favorite part of those commercials is the line that "more people want to work in the corner office than know how to build the corner office." makes me glad I'm a carpenter's son.
ReplyDeleteThis idea was really one of the biggest things i was looking forward to about going to college. I was ready to stop reading books and writing plot summaries and all of the other useless things they have us do in high school. I was ready to go to college and learn. Honestly though, i know i cant speak from much experience, but my experience so far has kind of disappointed me in that aspect. There are still classes and activities that they love to coin as required when we really cant see a good reason for them. Maybe i'm just dumb. Maybe i'm just naive. But one way or another, i really just want to learn.
