Who the hell thought this up....

The biggest scam in the history of the world does not involve lottery scratch off tickets or paying 8 bucks to see Paris Hilton in House of Wax. It is the college system in the United States of America. Obviously, being stuck dead in the middle of a seemingly endless campaign to earn a bachelor's degree (maybe I will do it in 6!) my perception may be slightly skewed. Okay maybe more skewed that the New York Time's but who's counting? I do think that despite all that I could help make some helpful changes to this screwed up system. My first and major complaint is that fact that to earn your degree you spend at least 2 years worth of time taking classes that matter none whatsoever to the field you are studying. By requiring students to "become well-rounded" Universities have the perfect excuse to charge us for classes we neither need nor want to take. Spending two years on useless crap is like Michael Jordan playing basketball his entire life then thinking "hey, what the hell why not make Space Jam and play baseball". This worked out for no one except Bugs Bunny. (disclaimer: I loved Space Jam). What's worse is that teachers that teach the useless classes are usually the most arrogant and stuck up teachers on campus. Because they know no one wants to listen the their bull. But hey that have a Ph.D. in Japanese imperialism in the 19th century so they MUST be smart. Uh no, that means they losers who have no life nor desire to ever obtain one. That's why they torture normal people who only wanna earn a degree and get the hell on with the rest of their life. (And enjoy college along the way I might add) A degree could be cut down to two years. Why do I need Biology and Economics when I just wanna write and talk about sports? I simply do not give a damn about how many cells make up the human hair. The classes that don't matter are always the ones that give you the worst grades. Therefore, leading to parental disappointment and anger. Wait a second, maybe I should just major in that.......
