So I just graduated from college. It's interesting there are several problems with college, I'm just going to rant about one thing. Why do professors like to compare college to a job. I know they think that's why they are here so they can get a good job. Do you know the problem with that? I will never have to work at a job where I need to study biology, algebra, creative writing, spanish, and art appreciation in the same day. I may "use" all these things but no more then at a common sense level. And another reason this is stupid is because at an office job the manager is responsible for helping you to be successful, and every good manager knows they personally responsible for the success of their employees. They need to read good management books to learn what makes a good manager such as: they need to make assignments clear and achievable, they need to do regular and frequent evaluations of their students (employees). They need to make sure we understand what they want. The only thing that teachers do when they say college is like work is to say "College is like a job so you need to work harder" stupid huh?
All in all college is not about learning what makes a good employee its about getting a good GPA that's 90% of what employers care about anyway.
