I know you're not going to see this because you're a pussy and put me on your ignore list. But everything you can learn in college you can learn online.

We need to get rid of degrees and just test people when they apply for jobs.

Ignorant question but how do jobs verify your degree? Phone call to university?

Not sure. I went straight in after an on-campus interview followed by a site visit. cn

Apparently they don't check too hard for CEO's.

Not true. I took a few semesters and I was going for a major in physics and a minor in astronomy and even that isn't anywhere near a guaranteed job.

Did you look that up before you enrolled? You do understand that college's operate like a business, they won't tell you what job fields are available or anything, they'll just tell you how much it is to do what you tell them you want.

Do the research before you enroll, then you won't have that problem.

BTW, did you even finish? You only said you took a few semesters... how do you even know if you haven't finished?
