I walked out on a degree in Sociology two classes from a useless degree. The clincher was a class in the Sociology of Education...that and realizing that colleges are just businesses...they deal in a product called "knowledge"...but it isn't even that.
At lower levels they get paid by body count...you can be brilliant, but they'll flunk you if you don't show up...they get paid per body per day. After that, for "higher education", they get their money from US...we're hooked by then...Goddamn, PUSHER MAN!!!
