[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cant stand Kevin or Kate. They are both losers.  Did neither of them even go to college?  Neither seem to have any sense of purpose or any intellectual curiosity or ability.  They dont take any responsibility for their own lives, blaming everything on their upbringing and parents.  Its so pathetic.  I love Randall though, even when he geeks out. He hit the jackpot when he married Beth.  She is amazing.  Probably the best character on the show IMO.  I also love Rebecca.[/quote]

[b]And why should an actor go to college? What a complete waste of time & money that would be![/b][/quote]

College is never a waste of time or money of one is smart and engaged.  College is about acquiring knowledge and depth, not about training for a job - the latter happens in vocational school or while obtaining a post-graduate professional degree.  Further, many young actors leave Hollywood to go to college (often the very best colleges), many colleges have great drama departments for honing the craft, and most high-achieving, successful actors have college degrees.

Kate and Kevin are losers as evidenced, in part, by their failure to attend college.[/quote]

Your view as to what college is about may have some merit but it is a very privileged one.

Also, the idea that not attending college makes someota "loser" is incredibly elitist.

In any case, nothing on the show so far has really given us any kind of definitive answer as to whether or not Kevin &/or Kate went to college. Lots of tv/movie stars went to college (either for theatre/acting or for something else) & it's definitely not unheard of for a 28-year-old college grad to be working as a waitress (particularly not when the economy is as terrible as it was back in 2008).
