I went to college years ago, and felt 80-90% of my classes
were better than working, but not worth paying for--I only
took them because the college required them for the degree.
If I had a kid I would make sure they were introduced to
programming(including web developement) and the financial markets at an early age; We would also go to church. Yea--I think church matters. The world has enough Trumps and
Zuckerburg's(yes--I think he stole the idea, but college
taught me we all steal it's called Behaviorism, but I feel
Mark went farther than subconsciously thinking he came up
with a good idea. ). I think I flunked grammer though?
One more thing about school. I went to Chiropractic School
and lasted a little over a year. With in a few months I
realized I made a huge mistake(their are no Subluxations,
well maybe a handful of real subluxations caused by accidents). I had one teacher tell the class, "there are
over 17 different upper cervical techniques,--And they All
work equally well". I was floored. It works on a placebo
level. I went home had a break down, and dropped out. Paid
back the 12 grand to the government. I has a break down
for other reasons than the lie of Chiropractic School, but
What always amassed me was the amout of denial among the students.
I couldn't figure out if they didn't know about the Placbo
Effect, didn't want to admit they were duped, didn't
care as long as it was legal, or they just wanted to be called Doctors?
I had one classmate die of a stroke while biking on a Sunday. He was a nice Midwestern kid. He was going
to Chiro school along with his wife, but she was beyond
cool. The ironic and sad part of his early death is I
think he was seeing a Chiropractor weekly, and getting
"adjusted" by a technique called a Rotary(snap your neck
ligaments--Gases escape?), but patient believes bones
are moving. This is what Sharon Stone was having done
to her when she had an extremely rare bilateral stroke.
I heared the only reason she is alive is because by luck,
a visiting vascular surgon happen be in San Franciso on
attending a conference? Some how the hospital got him
to repair the vessels.
I was looking for some
"truths" while I went to college, and all I took away
from the experience was summed up too well in the
movie Superstar, by Molly Shannon, "a bunch of cliff notes,
and a lot of drinking". That was an extreme statement, and
I think finishing a bachler's degree in anything is important, especially for low income families. Rich kids
can fall back on their parents, or use their parents connections--usually.
I'll stop. I'm still confused, and just venting, and praying I have a few more healthy years.
