Just moments ago I finished studying for a quiz on Wednesday over jellyfish and earthworms. I'm trying to figure out why I need to be able to dissect and name parts of small and microscopic organisms instead of writing my report for my Environmental Techniques class. One of the few classes that I actually feel will prepare me for my future career because of the experience I will gain in writing scientific reports vs. essays. I will have also spent time using field equipment that I will most certainly use again in just a few years. I feel that only 10 out of the 25 classes I have to take will directly help my coming career but there is no other way for what I want to do. I believe college degree plans contain large amounts of fluff that do not advance a students needs to get into the job field. It used to be that a student took college courses to make them a better person. But I've seen over the years in my own school years that teachers no longer seem to care or bother. My biology teacher is a self identified lazy ass that frankly hates teaching freshman biology, my geology teacher speaks exactly from the notes, and in the only class I care about, Geographic Information systems (a computer class) I know more about computers than the teacher does.
