"College graduate" means almost nothing anymore. When not having a college degree became a social shame, the US government decided it needed to socialize the pride of achievement that true college grads used to get to feel.
- bigtimeidiot 10y ago>"College graduate" means almost nothing anymore." Exactly. I have 2 degrees, obtained about 8 years apart, so I've spent a few years doing undergraduate work. Not sure what it's like in the US, but here in Canada it's nearly impossible to flunk out of University. Between the ability to find "bird courses" with the help of technology to rank and rate classes and profs, to the garbage incentives of "if this person flunks out, there goes next year's tuition" pretty much everyone can scrape by.
