Overheard at the University of the Damned

[kellinator]

My co-workers and I had to go to get our campus IDs replaced today at lunchtime. We were standing there waiting while an extremely stereotypical undergrad was babbling to her friends about why she just couldn't be bothered to go to her math class which is boring because she doesn't understand what's going on:

"That's like fifty minutes out of my life when I could be napping or eating!"

We just stared at each other in shocked horror as the student whatever you are when you're in college but don't actually study anything started sharing with the entire room that she was wearing Superman underwear.

50 years ago, graduating from high school showed one had a decent education and was enough to get a good job.

20 years ago, a high school diploma meant crap and you had to have a college degree to get a decent job.

Looks like now a bachelors degree is heading from meaning "educated" to meaning "parents could afford to support me through four years of keggers" and you'll need a masters degree to get a decent job.

50 years from now they're going to have to invent a new degree that's one step past the worthless Ph. D. to be able to tell the cluefull from the burned-out party animals.
