    The rubber stamp system is in effect.....in the 1st week, Ive had to read and comment on essays of my "classmates" and I have discovered that if my 8 year old daughter had written any of these essays for her 3rd grade class, I would have made her re-write it....some of them are beyond pitiful and the professor has been giving full credit even when its a joke....1 week in, already disgusted....

    I live in England we don't have High Schools.

    I'm in 6th form at the moment which is the step between College (or what you'd call high-school) and University (Which Americans call college i believe)

    I'm 17 At the moment and the drinking age throughout England is 18 and I'm 16 stone and 6"3 so i rarely get asked for I.D. So :D

    You are right on the money. There are people that I work with that have a music or philosophy major.

    None of that applies to the technical field that we are working in. The only thing that matters is that they graduated from colllege with any degree whatsoever. Employers don't care. They just look at the past 1-2 jobs that you have had. Beyond that, its all just experience with what they want you to work on. It's often not about what you did, but how fast you learn the job that you are about to do.

    It's fun as hell, but harder or easier depending on what your career aspirations are.

    Either way, it's about meeting people and interacting with them, in all the ways 18-22 year olds can.
