Universities -- Misconceptions

[Arluza]

I need to rant.

Do you want to know what universities are? BUSINESSES.

Did the ever pretend to be anything else?

Yes, they pretenciously portray themselves to be magical lands where knowledge and wisdom is handed to you on a silver platter then employers come grovelling at your feet for you to come work for them after graduation.
just watch the tv adverts, the campus "prospectus" ie, a stupid word for menu and talk to any school teacher, they will tell you it is a guaranteed path to millions in riches.

The businesses sell success but without the success and then turn to say "didn't get a job? should have worked harder" the same excuse every time...
Employers aren't stupid, they are fully aware of how even lazy people do a degree just to have a degree so employers raise their qualification standards just because they need a way to filter the ever growing ocean of "talent" aka mindless drones

really? Where? Show me one. Because I live in the US too and I haven't seen it. Maybe it is because I am a smart person and know the TV isn't a reality either, and to take everything with spoonfuls of salt.

I am a computer programming major and i can tell you that there are majors where you can get by with no effort. Education, business, political science, economics, Art history. You don't need to work for those. just breeze on through. Programmers, Natural Science (Biology, Astronomy, Geology, etc) all require work. Those majors you never hear about? those are the ones people will get jobs in. The "don't have a job?" bit is more due to the education bubble being around 5 to 10 years from bursting. I would say I am sorry you are stupid for not living in reality, but I don't feel sorry for you because reality has always been right there, you've just been ignoring it.
