Diploma Mills

"I just think a lot of it is silly. And I decided that if I didn't want to learn a bunch about Microeconomics because it's required for my degree, but I will not use a single bit of the information for the rest of my life, then I don't really feel bad for not working hard to get an A on that course. Sure, I learned some (and already knew a bunch), but it really isn't necessary for what I want to do with my life. Same with Stats, and Finance, and Managerial Accounting. They mean virtually nothing to me in my line of work. They are just classes picked by someone who thinks I should know them."

I agree. I think a lot of the classes required are silly. I certainly encourage my son to learn something, but not waste time on those classes. I want him to spend time on his AOS classes. It's also silly for anyone who has been in a job for a substantial time (and is good at it), to have to get that piece of paper.
