Emphasis mine. Little 'ol dumb redneck me, with just a high school diploma, is sitting here wondering how someone from a so-called prestigious university could ask that question. THIS is what our universities are putting out? THIS is what a college education buys you?
Of the 14 or 15 applicants I interviewed, only one got them all right -- the only male in the crowd, by the way. None, zero, zip of the rest got even ONE right. Not a single one. A very irritated applicant asked me, "Do we really need to know this old stuff?" I noted that we worked with NATO and Europe, hence, it was important to know the background that led to the creation of NATO and the then just-concluded Cold War. She stared at me and said, "What does World War II have to do with NATO, the Cold War and Europe?"
Can someone tell me why I shouldn't just get a fancy piece of paper, doctor it up to look official, and call it a day? Why should I spend thousands of dollars to get an education of the places responsible for educating young men and women are not doing their jobs? What am I spending my money on?
I'm spending it to get a fancy piece of paper that looks official.
Found at Cold Fury.
