So, you think you are better than the smelly WalMart people?
It was posted from his mothers baseman where he still lives because he obviously doesn't have a job.
This would all be rather humorous, the loser class continuing to cling to these silly leftest agendas. However, parents are paying big bucks to have their offspring brainwashed by this crap!
These are two very different things. If they are so smart, why did they go to school as long as a doctor, and make only 20% of the salary?
Both can be correct @king ward depending on the number of grammar police. Perhaps @mauze1 recognizes only one.
Perhaps because money isn't everything to everyone? Many educators see it as a noble calling and simply love to work with students.
Totally agree with this. I'm just fed up with Academia lecturing the world on how we should think, live, and vote. As was pointed out above, most have very little experience with the real world and have been coddled since birth.
One should say, "Here comes the grammar policeman," if one is talking about an individual officer. If the sentence were inverted, one would not say, "The grammar police comes here". Would you say that?
So tell us, how many career type jobs are available where the requirement of time spent in the library will outweigh a degree in a targeted field.
When I went to USC, out of the few professors that would actually discuss personal politics, at least half of them were diehard conservatives. And that's being generous. Here at my wife's University, she feels it's pretty similar.
I think a professor's political leanings are closely related to the field they teach. One would see Business professors to be more conservative, but Arts professors to be more liberal.
Before we dive into a conversion about the verb tense rules when using collective nouns, regional and dialectal exceptions to those rules, and the shift in grammar education over the last couple of decades from prescriptive to descriptive - all of which I am happy to do - you really need to tell me when you last heard someone use the term grammar policeman.
I'm not claiming to have heard it. I'm asserting that I should have heard it - if someone were going to go in that direction. Have a nice afternoon.
I know that would be a disastrous bellwether of a catastrophic season. I do not expect it to happen.
This statement will bring out the grammar police 100% of the time.
That's a matter of perspective. I would find it not great.
Your thread does no more, NO MORE, than to reveal perverse immaturity and incomparable stupidity.
Unfortunately many of today's students won't get a "career type job" from their major. But they will still have the loan.
All but the affluent have to be very purposeful in planning their educations now.
I didn't see any question marks in your comment. Also, I think you are missing the topic of the OP: Why are universities squandering valuable resources that could be used to better prepare students for future employment opportunities? My assertion is that universities are not holding up their end of the bargain, and therefore must create a victim mentality in their students so they are not called out on the piss-poor product they are peddling.
You also forget the fact that today many career fields require additional instruction beyond the undergraduate degree....even in what you call "career-specific" fields of study.
