Away With You, Foul Serpent!
That time you spent making that meme? You could have been studying.
Education isn’t a one-way thing that’s passed on from your teacher to you. It’s an interactive process and sometimes if you are displeased with the outcome, it’s because of your lack of input.
Lol dat reply. Sir, you are cancer.
Implying there’s nothing wrong with society.
Implying the problem always come from individuals, never the system they’re stuck in.
Implying dat you’re eating in the sytem hand and begging for more.
Are you even human, or just a robot from governement?
The funny fact is: I will never read any fancy reply you will make.
Don’t be so naive, some colleges are rip-offs. Enough said…
I think they were referring to the high cost of college, the 40% of grads that don’t get jobs requiring degrees, and the lack of advantage educationally that college gives over someone who knows how to use the internet. It’s an outdated business model bent on employing higher income families over low income families rather than relying on skills, intelligence, or readiness to work. To put the blame on one person because they “could have been studying” is to ignore that most kids don’t ever get the opportunity to “could have been studying”.
Also, I doubt that 5 minutes of studying would make good for the rest of their working lives.
Note that the question was not whether the education he got would be of any later use. The question was whether he got an education AT ALL. And THIS is something that does not only depend on the instructor but also on the student’s attitude.
I totally agree that there’s something wrong with the high cost of tuition.
However, I totally disagree with your claim that college gives you no educational advantage over someone who knows how to use the internet. The internet gives you access to facts, but not to the mental capacity to make any good use of them. It takes you 5 seconds to find Maxwell’s Equations on Wikipedia, but that doesn’t mean you can solve problems regarding electrodynamics.
No, because if I made this meme (I did not) that would mean that time I spent doing it somehow negated that my university had a GYM REQUIREMENT?!
Oh come on. Most physical requirements are taken care of Freshman year and, depending on what system your college is on, are only 2-5 credits. Not that difficult. Besides, you never know if you will suddenly develop an affinity for sweaty men in locker rooms or a new-found love of wrestling.
College is all about self-discovery.
You can’t just “get” an education, as if it were a noun. Education is a noun only when used by employers to see how much money you have spent to educate (a verb) yourself. Someone who spends their time learning from someone face to face is no different fundamentally to someone who spends their time learning from someone face to internet to face except for cost to pay a teacher to teach several classes versus paying a teacher to teach all students.
The Fry meme is one statement followed by another statement that contrasts the first. I infer that “getting ripped off” means not getting what you pay for, and for the first statement to contradict the second, the first statement must be that you are getting what you pay for. 40% of grads do not get what they pay for, and the rest pay a hell of a lot more than they could by spending your “hard work and effort” learning the same things on the much-cheaper internet and in the free library. Sure, Wikipedia will give you formulas, but if you happen to look towards the bottom of the page the links will usually take you to places where those equations are explained (Wikipedia even explains how Maxwell’s Equations work in depth. Yeah I checked. Do you think I’m going to let you get away with that? Sheesh.).
Instructor bases grade off of assignments. Assignments are done in class or lab primarially. Lectures consist of the instructor referencing the assignment material and waits for the class period to end. Assignments can not be completed due to admin rights protection.
Problem?
you can also study without going to school
And then you end as a mormon.
Hey that mormon dude on Jeopardy made out pretty well.
Exactly. So what the —- are you paying for? I spend SO many hours studying on my own and SO little time getting that bit of extra which I’m paying for.
You’re paying for that little piece of parchment that indicates you have been through the system and have received indoctrination in the Libtard dogma.
Capitalism bad, down with profits!!! Take from those who work for a living and give to the lazy bastiches what sit in government housing suckin’ up free meds and food stamps!!! All Hail the Prophet of Climate Change Al Gore and His Holiness Chairman Maobama the Occupier Supreme of the Oval Office.
Anit-joke chicken, is that you?
Based on the grammar, you are getting ripped off.
I was wondering if someone would notice that.
This.
i get paid by the government to study. umad?
See my comment above and then read this schmucks and you’ll see what I mean.
Probably an anchor baby of some Illegal, getting free meds, free housing, free education, food stamps, and a tax-payer paid education.
Let the revolution begin!
Philosophy major? The latter.
You’d be surprised how many opportunities we actually get.
The LSATs are a breeze to us.
Yeah, because it’s not like the country isn’t absolutely flooded in a deluge of lawyers right no-actually, my data is years old, the market may have stabilized, so law might actually be a good career path.
I took the LSAT (Economics background, BTW) and got … well, I don’t remember the exact score, but it was the 83rd percentile. So, not bad, but not OMFG OUTSTANDINGly exceptional.
Doing a philosophy degree, and I’m seriously wondering what the points is. Lectures are uninspiring, the lecturers (and thus the markers) are all ridiculously bias and at the end of the day they just tell you to go read a sh** tonne of stuff for both coursework and exams.
I know that feel, bro.
how I feel about college…
i get paid to go to college lol i love the UK
You don’t get paid to go to University (in fact, at the moment to study at university will cost you £27,000). What the UK call ‘university’, americans call ‘college’. But yes, I also like how you don’t have to pay to go to college… but still, Uni is pretty damn expensive. Especially given the fact you’re getting an education so you can get a better paid job, which means you’ll be paying more taxes than somebody with a lower paid job. Given that information, I really don’t get why they charge us for the priviledge to pay more taxes.
Well, you get small scholarships for certain things etc. But overall, in the UK college is free, Uni you have to pay for. In america when they say college, it’s the equivilant to uni in UK.
I go to a decent college for “free”. Sometimes Brazil isn’t that awful
Your failure to use an apostrophe tells me it’s the latter.
and the unnecessary hyphen.
both
But.. But.. But.. Education doesn’t cost anything? I don’t get it..
OOOOH yeah! You’re in the USA right?
Would have been funnier had it said erection, rather than education.
8=======>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<=======8
getting that ripped off would be quite worse
NO
I know for a fact the college I went to was a rip-off. My English final last spring was a ten question quiz of where to put the apostrophe in a sentence. But of course, I’m sure someone will blame me for choosing the school and having high expectations of the professors.
A bit of both.
The course I’m studying is vocational. The first year fair enough.. some argument it was relevant to be in university full time to learn the foundation theory.
Second and Third year… it could easily have been a day release apprenticeship, meaning we’d have been working and getting paid (even if a low wage, still contributing to the economy), and learning the job.
My thoughts before University was that I didn’t want to go.. it was all pretentious and societies excuse to take a few more years out. I however had to go later on to get a degree to do what I want to do for a living. Thoughts now? Fair enough. University does teach you something, and it is worth reading in depth and having lectures from experienced people who have been there, done it, and can help the student relate the theory to practice. However, I still believe the way Universities are set up are all wrong, and are a massive cash cow.
Practical experience will always trump theoretical / academic experience. You can teach a job in a classroom, but you can’t learn it unless you’re doing the job. And no matter what any student on 90+ % of courses say (including my own) students have a lot of free time. I have met some of the most infuriatingly lazy / unmotivated people while being at University and it’s definitely largely the University system to blame. Especially young students with no experience of real self-discipline / reliance don’t know any different than to develop bad working habits and then work rapidly at the last minute to finish an essay.. and then say they’re ‘really busy all the time’ and ‘over worked’.
Rant over.. But yeh, I largely agree with this Meme
