Ha! With an undergraduate emphasis on Dumb and Dumber quotes. “What was all that one-in-a-million talk back there?”  Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well. -Epictetus | |||

I actually know a young guy who does exactly that, at a community college. He didn't want to "sell out" by getting a PhD or something like that. Yes, he's still single at 36 or so. His parents are friends; they pretend to be OK with it. He wouldn't listen to them. _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||

That’s my first choice but there are still places that will hire for positions with unrelated degrees. One of my previous HR reps had her degree in psychology, she got into those jobs out of college and is still working in that area. | |||

Maybe universities should offer degrees in Common Sense. Nah, that'd make sense, teaching something that should come naturally. | |||

It would be very hard to find professors. . | |||

All that and she still doesn't understand the difference between Literal and Literary. Hell I would have fired her just for not understanding the difference. Sad to see that Universities today are no longer even a tiny bit concerned about Education and instead are simply collecting "rent" and providing Evidence (or perhaps Provenance) that their students have been fully Brainwashed. I've stopped counting. | |||

Reminds me of something Frank Zappa wrote in his autobiography. The only job that kids who major in Music Composition will get is teaching, wearing tweed jackets with leather elbow patches, smoking a pipe, praying for tenure, and spreading the disease to the next clueless victim. "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

The course work in the Common Sense pipeline would be fun to try. The professor would sound like Jeff Foxworthy, talking about putting a 600 pound television set on a TV tray... === I would like to apologize to anyone I have *not* offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly. | |||

Well, one would hope, with that one thinks clearly. Though, there are strains in philosophy that try to convince the weak-minded that logic is worthless, that thinking clearly is a pipe dream, that knowledge is impossible and reality does not exist... Thus, the qualifier 'one would hope' above - a Masters in that kind of philosophy wouldn't help clear thinking much. | |||

Wants a PhD. Doesn't have the intellect for a real one. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

"For the last three years I've been LITERALLY wasting my time while pretending to be scholarly." I used to just love it when people would claim PhD abd... ALL BUT DISSERTATION. So really you've completed a few classes and are claiming a PhD that you have not earned!? STFU. ____________________________ Yes, Para does appreciate humor. | |||
