It still blows my mind that most of the most difficult courses were the 100 level gen-ed stuff, not the 400 level professional stuff.
But I ended up pursuing a bullshit degree, so my perception is skewed.
If you weren't taking something like Fluid Mechanics or Thermo Dynamics or Structural Analysis at the 400 level then we can agree, you weren't getting a professional degree.
Like the career that comes after, you get out of college what you put into it.
Yea, I wish I had studied something as interesting as thermodynamics or structural analysis.
But instead, I went to business school…which is to say, I made the grave mistake of listening to my parents, who applied immense pressure to 18-22yo ousdahl to go to business school even tho he had no interest in doing so, under the guise that things like thermodynamics and structural analysis don’t matter, cuz the only thing that does matter is money, money money money, and the best way to make money is business school.
For real Japhy, you think I became this cynical just for the lulz?
