Liberal Democrat says Algebra is not necessary

It's either being unemployed and living on unemployment insurance and letting it run out, or being employed in a low paying, monotonous job until I find something much more meaningful.

For ****'s sake. I'm not going to sprinkle "IMHO" throughout my posts just because you think that I'm autistic. I should be permitted to say "college is primarily about getting a job" without you stating the obvious fact that I'm voicing an opinion that others may disagree with.

You may be wrong about the kinds of jobs or vocations that some students are looking for.

Telling your kid not to order vanilla is not equivalent to murdering twelve million people.

You obviously wouldn't be a very good father.

I have a Masters in U.S. History and I vacuum carpet for a cleaning company.

Question: Did you not know that those with Masters in U.S. History have a high unemployment rate (if they aren't teaching which it seems that yould rather vacuum carpets)?

This thread became totally awesome overnight.

I don't understand the reluctance to teach in highschool Mr Fun, it must be possible to get hired by a school whose students aren't savages. You get nice vacations as a teacher, and the pay isn't horrible.

My recognition of the severity of the Nazis' crimes does not disqualify me as being a good father.

Where do you stand on the relative morality of joking accusations of bestiality vs. actual bestiality, Loin? It's a question that's baffled top legal scholars for years.

[loinburger]

Alas, bestiality (actual or otherwise) is outside the purview of my legal training, which primarily focused on dickgirls and tentacle penises.

It's actually not that easy to get a job teaching history, since that's pretty much the only job history majors are qualified for.

Given the whole, "Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it," thing, you'd really think history majors would know better.

They don't teach that until the final semester

Perhaps the other choice besides "vanilla" is "Jew Baby Eyeballs and Cream" ...

I think a mutual friend in archaeology said as much, didn't he? Certain departments are so desperate to fill seats they are essentially lying to their undergrads about opportunities.

Hmmm... Are tentacle penises not a subgenre of bestiality? Does demon sex count as bestial?
