[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dad went to engineering school many years ago, and on the first day was told -- look to your left, look to your right, they will BOTH be gone by graduation. Obviously, that doesn't work from a basic math perspective, but the point was made. I think the drop out rate literally was about 2/3. So at least things are a little more supportive than they once were. [/quote] That implies no one graduates![/quote] Yes, that’s what passed for humor. It was a play on the old look to your left, look to your right, one of them will be gone—the joke was that a 33% weed out was for the weak. The drop out rate was very very high. And these were mostly guys that had spent the last few years killing nazis so presumably had a little backbone to start. [/quote]
