I think that students should be required to take general education courses because it gives them a broader, more well-rounded education, it helps them to discover where they may have aptitudes that they might not have ever considered and because we've already sunk so much money into our education that you guys know you can weasel out a few more courses and we won't say boo.Ā
I mean, I want to be a hermit who writes books and draws pictures. If I have my way, I'll live in a castle on a pile of money and Iāll only have to speak to my husband, my robot-husband and my cats.
I mean, what the hell am I going to do with sociology? Oh, cool, I can examine crowds that give me panic attacks because they could become a riot in less than four seconds. Wow, I can watch the Breakfast Club and identify four more reasons why it's upper-middle-class self-pitying garbage. Now I can see why this was a popular major for all the jocks in my high school who got to go to better schools than I did because, even though they can barely read, they can throw a ball real good! It's great! It's just like psychology, but without any of the hard stuff!Ā
I hate general ed.
If I had my way, I would have just taken writing and art classes until I became a master of both and then I would write and draw something that would make every college kid boycott general ed classes. And then every English teacher would have no idea how to do algebra and every mechanical engineer would have no idea how the French Revolution went down and I wouldnāt give a fucking shit. That's how much I hate it.
