I Am In College

I always thought college was supposed to prepare us for the real world. And while do learn some important things for the jobs we take, half the stuff we learn, we don't even remember after we graduate.

I'm afraid schooling these days largely involves teaching people how to pass exams, and not much more.

@Quizzical Butt, how is that supposed to prepare us for the real world. Like I have less then a year left and I already know that once I won't be ready for the real world. Especially when I make enough money to be able to live on my own.

@lizzy96 Therein lies the problem I'm afraid.

It's a flawed system now.

@Quizzical I'm taking econ now b.c it's required for my major. But my teacher teaches it like were experts, only problem is 90 percent of the class are not econ majors, bc the class is only required for public admin majors (my major)and when the midterm came the class did so poorly that he had to change to total points from 125 to 100 bc the median was only 100. Please professors of things that we'll arent professionals
