POOR ACADEMICS

[Home Slice]

I attended Miami many, many years ago. I was dumb and naive when I started and when I graduated I was less dumb and naive. After a six year stint in the navy during the Vietnam war I continued my education which, along with what I learned in the navy, made me more less dumb and more less naive. That didn't stop me from getting married and raising kids and working my way up the ladder of success. Now I'm retired many years and I know I'm very much less dumb and less naive than I was waaaay back when.

Forget about all this crap. It doesn't matter. You continue your education, graduate, and then let living your life be your post graduate work. Do it right and you retire happy with fond memories of the past!

Listen to me...an old man making the best of what's left living in Florida (God's waiting room)

Very well said

Through Zoom Meetings, Khan Academy, & IG models using PED.

As someone in one of those fields, I am very glad you are not in charge.

You can argue about the relative difference between schools but if you think college isn’t necessary then you have a warped perspective of what it takes to succeed in those endeavors.

I, for one, will never get operated on by a Doctor that graduates from Zoom U. Ditto not living in a building designed by someone educated on the internet.


On edit, it appears you may have been joking and my real beef would be with the original guy who questioned the value of college for those professions. At least I hope it was a joke.
