> As for the whole school being BS…I can somewhat agree. I think there are a lot of classes that you have to take that add stress and debt that don’t mean a damn thing. Nothing pissed me off more than when I had one of my hardest classes that didn’t even relate to my major. For example I had a history of art class at Pitt that was a bitch. The exams were essay and fill in the blank not multiple choice…all that where there were like 30 pieces of art to know every damn thing about and you never knew what was going to be on the test. Studying for a week for a class you give two shits less about when you have more important stuff to do fuckin sucked. But oh well it is what it is I guess.

I feel your pain there. I seriously spent more time studying for my humanities (art history) and biblical history classes than I spent studying for my business/accounting courses. The worst part was, I acutally enjoyed my business classes and dreaded the art classes. It was dumb because I would learn the pieces of art/music/architecture for the test and then completely wipe them out of my mind. Looking back though, college was not as bad as it seemed at the time. I would go back and study and do papers again if it meant to more bills, 8-6 work days and 1 hour commutes to go 10 miles to the city.
