[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG, girls are good at listening to directions, organizing themselves [i]in a classroom environment[/i] better than men, and sticking to rigid, ordered structure.

Now throw the kids out in the woods with a little bit of gear and no food rations.  See how well men vs. women survive.  Or throw a bunch of materials on the ground and tell them to build a bridge with no directions and very few tools available.  Study after study has shown that men are spatial and visual learners.  That's exactly OPPOSITE of how education is taught via rote, didactic based classroom learning.

The vast majority of college degrees are worthless.  They teach almost zero about personal finance, how to fix your transmission so you save $2000 when it breaks down, or how to even unclog a drain in your home so that you don't have to spend $1000 on a visit from the plumber.  Quiz all of these impressive college students who aren't specifically in finance or accounting to see if they have the faintest idea of what amortization is and how it affects their life.  I can guarantee you amortization with have 100000000000x more impact on their entire lives than the writings of Sappho, Jane Austen, or Plato.  Just admit it - a huge portion of college grads are forking over $20, 30, 40, even 70k per year just to be in what is tantamount to a stupid book club discussion that you can do for free at your local library.  Universities teach almost nothing of actual value that helps people survive except maybe engineering and a few STEM degrees.  Congrats for indebting yourselves to a greater degree than certain other groups of people just so you can stick a paper on your wall that says you read a whole bunch of library books that could have been checked out for free.  Pfffff, advanced knowledge in many fields is now free these days online via YouTube and even universities themselves.  College is the biggest waste of time. Unless of course you're OK with just settling for mediocre and being indebted out the wazoo for the privilege. It's so funny how many business leaders lambast worthless MBAs these days because schools teach almost zero of actual value.  You constantly hear about how business leaders have to retrain MBAs from scratch, because what they just paid $200k for is essentially worthless.  [/quote]

Wow.  So many incorrect assumptions and misogyny it’s hard to know we’re to start.

But O do agree that the point of a 4 year degree isn’t to rebuild a transmission.  Which is fine. In 20 years, that will be done by robots. [/quote]

Meh, most Millennials and GenZ are adapt at maintaining their bikes and prefer that to driving.[/quote]
