First Blood!
if it was Unreal Tournament, or some other game, yeah, probably?
but… no… no blood spilled here!
grz
true blood?
Sad, that you Americans use the words “professional” and “commercial” synonymously.
I don’t think they are synonymous, nor do I think “commercial” would necessarily be appropriate for this graph. Commercial implies that the primary intent is to make money, or the trade of goods, and there are many reasons people go to college for PROFESSIONS outside the commercial realm.
I hadn’t thought of that before… you are right. We do use them interchangably.
I use my DVR to record TV shows. That way, I get to skip past the professionals. However, I do not record many amateur sporting events, as I prefer the commercial ones.
Logics fail.
That most commercial things are professional does not implicate that most professional things are commercial.
nesting fail? or sarcasm detection fail?
grammar fail.
I will admit that some do, but teaching is a profession that is not at all lucrative, unless you have a tenure at a very good university.
Quite realistic. But I guess I have better classes, yeah.
Graph’s been done, originality fail.
fail originally
That graph right there is the absolute truth!
too true….
There are classes that help you in the real world?
I took “Anonymous Internet Posting 101″ and draw on that educational experience on virtually a daily basis. I am now able to formulate opinionated comments which utilize a vast array of sarcastic, antagonistic, and/or inappropriate notions. Granted it doesn’t pay well, but a career in trolling provides rewards beyond that of monetary remuneration.
Any class that teaches you the word “remuneration” is bound to help in the real world.
how do i put graphs on here?
A student will often ask me “Will I be using this stuff after I graduate?” and my answer is “You probably wont, but the people who pass my class probably will.”
win
There are places that teach you only what you need to know in the professional world; they are called technical colleges. They will not bother you with such time-wasters as literature, foreign languages, and philsophy.
typo = “philosophy,” obvs.
Not the truth for me…an engineer who is interested in his major…basically all three circles are concentric and nearly identical in size
Speaking as a professional engineer, you probably won’t use most of your classwork ever again once you enter your career. The classwork teaches you how to think, but you’ll have to relearn most things with application specific to whatever you end up doing as a career.
Good to hear that you’re interesting in what you’re learning though!
We are we are we are we are we are the engineers,
… demolish 40 beers…
rum..
with us
dont’ give a damn
Godiva, coventry, bare white hide…
Fill in the blanks.
The maker of this graph should probably change majors and/or universities. Your institution or program is evidently failing you.
I agree!
This graph may be true for the first two years, but when you’re in the third and fourth year and the classes are not for your major…. then you’re wasting your time.
If you’re thinking about how your higher education will aid you vocationally, you’re doing it ALL WRONG. Education is about self-growth, knowledge, wisdom. It’s about learning HOW to think, and becoming better at critical thought and learning.
Employers like this because then when they need to train you, as they INEVITABLY will, you will require much less training and repitition. So take whatever classes you enjoy; you’ll still be able to get the job you’re after most likely. Exceptions for highly technical fields like mechanic, engineer, chemist, physicist, etc., but most office type jobs will be yours in a heartbeat with any bachelor’s or higher degree.
My high school certainly didn’t teach me HOW to think… just how to write book reports and regurgitate other people’s thoughts and comments. It would be useful if they offered a course at my former high school on making resumes, how to write cover letters, how to market your skills, and how to discover what you’re really good at doing and apply it to your further education and eventual career path.
I had no clue how to write an analytical paper until my second semester of college!
Just be careful you aren’t brainwashed by the endless parade of liberal professors. They were an easy “A” though. I just wrote papers to exactly what they wanted to hear. All garbage. But while I agree much of school should be about how to apply knowledge and critical thought, I feel we (Americans) are failing miserably. Just my two cents there.
What are colleges succeeding at then?
Make sure you look out for those liberal professors. Always look out for the conservative ones, who are well-known for their epistemological adaptability and are endlessly open to ideas they don’t necessarily want to hear. Too bad those liberals are so resistant to critical thought.
Too bad they outnumber epistemologically and politically “conservative” professors by such a wide margin in higher education. What gives? Must be a coincidence, or a conspiracy.
You know, it’s also entirely possible that people with better educations tend to be more liberal as a result of their knowledge.
Surely, monkeys chew the coffee beans they eat?
Bummer, I took courses that went along with my carrier. Though the last two general ed courses will drive me nuts :/
Story of my life.
Why don’t you want to take the classes that will help you in the professional world?
Most colleges and universities don’t offer “Resume Building and Writing 101,” and it turns out that my major isn’t really useful for anything but being a code monkey unless I get a masters. Screw that, I’ll get a masters in something that is not only useful but also makes better use of my abilities.
If the French can get a Bachelor’s equivalent in 3 years, why can’t the US adopt this method for those interested? I mean, do I really need to suffer 2.5 years of crap I already took in high school but didn’t complete the AP exam because I was A) broke and couldn’t afford it and B) had expected at the time to go to a specialized technical school but couldn’t afford that either?
This is why we should have free schooling through PhD
In Soviet Union, monkey codes you!
shoulda added one more circle, not touching any of the others:
classes that meet when i don’t already have a class scheduled
Finishing my degree next year at age 42. Looks like I’ll still be managing a retail outlet for the time being. I’m wondering if this was not all a waste of time…
Hopefully it leads out of dealing with the general public one day
yoyoyo i just wanna say college is good for getting a job, but
if you wanted to learn something it would be better to travel
and see things with your eyes and learn by doing. Sitting
in a room with a bunch of other people counting on people who
wrote books is less reliable than seeing something yourself.
