They'd probably be more interested in that too.

Look if I wanted to read this ****** book i'd save my money and just buy the book and read it on my own damn time! so how about you teach me something!!!! college is stupid
GD! How fucked up is that? Learning something on your own?!!
Where can I get in on this profound new approach to education????
I just paid $900 for a month long class that didn't teach me ****!! except patience.
But it was the only way to get the $@#%&!!! certificate that says I know what I'm doing.
I love our national education policy, "If you're stupid, don't worry we'll make the smart kids go through all the same BS as you as many times as it takes!"
I have applied for SO many jobs that would've been a cakewalk, but because there are so many morons in the world, I have to take a $900 class to certify that I know how to use a @$&#% computer and 10-key.
Sorry just venting, its frustrating paying umpteen million $$$$ a year for college and getting a third-rate education!!!
GOD I HATE THIS GD STATE!!

Damn right I'm ******* bitter. There is no way I should have to pay 15k a year so that some ******** can tell me to go read a book. They are not educating me at all. Basically at the end of my 4 years I'll have a little piece of paper that says I know a whole bunch of crap that I easily could have taught myself and without going to college. But instead of learning it on my own I payed 60k to be told to sit down and teach myself. I think I have every right to be bitter. That 60 thousand could have been spent in a much better way. Higher education is a ******* scam. This would be very easy to correct. All you do is have national tests that see if you know what you're doing. So what you do is study for this test. Pass it. And there you go! You didn't have to pay lots and lots of money to be told to go read a book! Pretty amazing concept. Don't even get me started on how little the schools really care about the students...
