College is not about learning the material.

It's learning how to play The Game.

College is a joke...

I can safely tell you that you could probably pull a 4.0 in any level 100-400 liberal arts class using wikipedia, meaning any anthropology, sociology, political science, history, and international relations course can be summed up and generalized in a few wikipedia pages/

Out of the 124 credit hours needed for a B.A or B.S you could pull your 30 major credits and another 60+ electives and cores from those same "wikiable" classes listed above and do fairly well.

You got to wonder about classes like science, math, and foreign language, in other words shit that can't be googled and slapped on a paper? Simple. You can just take a couple 90-minute CLEP/DSST exams and you now have 22+ credit hours in those subjects with very minimal effort (because shit like earth/space, french culture, and basic algebra count as college credit from a majority of institutions)

When I was a freshman, I took 12 credit hours in pottery, guitar ensemble, ethics, photography (passed all courses with a 3.7) by the time I was enrolled by next year I had 67 credit hours, because during intercession I took a handful of CLEP tests that took probably about 2-3 days to complete in a computer lab... Essentially over summer I had enough credit hours to walk out with an associates.

To define sociopathy it is characterized by at least 3 of the following:

1. Callous unconcern for the feelings of others and lack of the capacity for empathy.
2. Gross and persistent attitude of irresponsibility and disregard for social norms, rules, and obligations.
3. Incapacity to maintain enduring relationships.
4. Very low tolerance to frustration and a low threshold for discharge of aggression, including violence.
5. Incapacity to experience guilt and to profit from experience, particularly punishment.
6. Markedly prone to blame others or to offer plausible rationalizations for the behavior bringing the subject into conflict.
7. Persistent irritability.

Just from your post alone you exhibit characteristic(s) 1,2,4 and 7

You sure I'm the sociopath? Everyone knows my posts are theatrical in nature but it truly does seem you're irritable and aggressive with every post you make.

Perhaps one of the wiki ph.D's here could write you a few scripts?

The mothafuckin' real truth.

Now you're probably like "You're a philosophy major Cab, you should know even though lib arts is easy there is no job market!" that's a delusion that people have that think more effort = greater rewards in a pro-profit setting such as a college institution.

My B.S in philosophy has the same weight and worth as every other degree upon graduation, it's absolutely worthless. I walk out of the institution with $60,000 dollars indebted to the government in the form of unsubsidized loans, with no job nor career... I essentially bought a metaphorical house and a car due to that debt level. with nothing in return but spending all day on monster.com it doesn't matter if my degree is in philosophy or mathematics I'm still being crushed by unemployment and debt

Somehow through all this people decide that nursing degrees are the go-to degree for instantaneous employment just like IT was the go-to in the early 90's, and it's always touted that you can make $75,000 or more as a RN, which all those statistics are coming from New York, or California where the cost of living is through the roof! For the most part they start nurses off making $17.50 an hour which isn't that much considering people that pave the highways make equal if not more with ZERO debt from college.

But people are lured by constant employment, and totally ignore the fact that they are $120,000 in debt if deciding to pursue a masters. It's also a career that totally assumes the availability of baby boomers increasing hospital revenue for constant employment...

It sure would be a shame for all those majors if SSI went bankrupt, and the cost of medical care was beyond the means of the average American because I could only foresee massive layoffs as hospitals downsize their staff

What's the difference between a B.S in philosophy vs. an B.A in anthropology or history? Aside from subject matter of course, we take all the same pre-reqs, a good portion of our classes cross-credit, we're in the same building 90% of the time.

Philosophy plays a big part in anthropology and vice versa, so in my view yes they hold the same weight, even on the opposing spectrum how many people are getting hired with a concentration in linguistics? Or a degree in finite math?
