Ha, that's the same thing I'm doing (except instead of a community college it's the small liberal arts college that my dad is a professor at (free tuition)) but same idea.

And yeah, community colleges are not jokes. I have a lot of friends who did not have either the money or grades to start at a nice school straight out so the worked and went to community college for a year or two, than transferred out. Sure they don't have the academic clout of Harvard, but that's really not the point.

Also: stop trashing liberal studies, you'll get me going on a lengthy, virulent rant.

What, you don't like working at McDonald's?

(I'm an English major, don't kill me)

          Yeah, I'm an English major also. Which always results in slightly perplexed looks from people followed by the inevitable "Well, uh, what are you going to DO with an English degree?"

John Cleese had an English degrees, so there's an option.

Well, if you have a girlfriend and/or powerful imagination, it is.



Crusty VGchartz old timer who sporadically returns & posts. Let's debate nebulous shit and expand our perpectives. Or whatever.

Why is anybody even listening to an 11 year old. He is 11. Who cares if he is a bit smarter than some other kids...(he's not a genius though)...he hasn't been through anything yet. Also, who the hell is going to hire this smart ass. Imagine him in a workplace...he wouldn't fit in...plus I'd beat him up for being a fool. I wanna scuba but not play video games...A Class Douche Bag. Having a conversation with this kid would be like having intercourse with a cactus.

The proper answer, in my experience, is "whatever I damn well please."

More seriously, art degrees (or even general studies degrees) have a lot of varied applications that can you can use them for in terms of getting hired. Each discipline exists because there is a demand for it, even if that demand isn't as readily apparent as for somebody who studies Engineering and Applied Physics.

Well said, as always.

Nothing is a waste of time if you enjoy it enough. But there is a point when enjoying turns into obsession. I don't play video games to the point of obsession, so I don't think they are a waste of time.
