i’d say first….but I don’t care.
Rename the categories to “Amount I Learned” and “Amount I Use” and you may have something.
In college you use more than you have learned? Are you by any chance taking drugs?
I certainly used more drugs than I learned in college, if that’s what you’re asking.
alas, so true…
Wow, this is exactly what I was feeling today as I contemplate telling my advisor that all the research I’ve done up to this point is garbage, and yet I’m supposed to graduate in 3 months….
What is the graph author studying? It sure doesn’t seem universal that every graduate student is burnt out and apathetic by the time they finish their degree. Maybe they need a new field?
I’m in grad school, and love the field I’m in, however, 6 months away from graduation I find I no longer care about any of it because I’ve been inundated with the same crap for the last year and a half. I think it’s more about not caring about the school and learning than it is not caring about the field you’re in, but that’s just my take on the graph.
Obviously you’ve never been a graduate student. 95% of your Grad schooling is your unique research project (or its equivalent, such as internship). The last 5% (usually towards the end) consists of a bunch of courses about things you already know/have experienced. In my case, it turned out that a majority of my classes were cross-listed with higher level undergrad classes that I already took. Which, for me, makes this chart 100% correct.
For my department, the 5% of classes are at the beginning. Didn’t make a difference for me, I’m still living this chart completely. I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care, just get me out of here already. And I’m not nearly as close as Steph and rockntrumpet, the lucky bastards….
Assumption fail!!! I’m getting ready to write my dissertation and as each month goes by, I enjoy being a student more and more.
Clearly, this person isn’t in grad school.
Clearly you’re not too close to graduating, lol.
Maybe, just maybe, people have different perspectives of this graph based on their unique experiences based on their field of study, if they’re getting a masters or a doctorate, and what field they are studying. If so, the universal applicability of this graph fails.
it’s humor, not truth, lighten up.
So true…so true.
Shift the amount I care curve over high school and you’ve got reality. I stopped caring in grad school and college.
replace ‘grad school’ with ‘real life job’ and it’ll be exactly my life…
This graph is my life…!
‘Verily in the name of God do hearts find peace.’
seems like some people may need this?
discuss
seems like you shouldn’t be interjecting religion into a joke graph site?
Unless you’re saying religion is a joke, in which case: epic win.
agreed -.-
The net value of religion throughout time has been negative. I suggest you take this peace of “God” over to Israel and find an application. They seem to need it more than this website.
Actually, in my case, I think it would be more closely represented by an inversely proportional relationship.
Good use for the chart:

Make the red line flat at zero across the graph = my life.
Obviously this person is studying the wrong thing in grad school…maybe they should have gotten a job in the real world right after their BA/BS…
