A lot of kids are screwed by their public school systems. They graduate with straight A's or something and think they're smart. Then they get the college spend the first two years taking classes subjects they should have learned in high school
Or you can be like my wife and take AP classes and pass the test so you already get credit and don't even have to take the class in college and only need 3 years to graduate. Smart prettythang she is... I didn't have take late US history because of passing AP exam. Thank goodness.
But I totally agree. The first 2 years is really stupid IMO. It's a total money grab. I guess they wanna see if you can actually pass the classes and figure out what you wanna do before going into the major. Like my college, had to have atleast a 2.8GPA to get into the business school. Still totally worthless to have to take literature and some other classes.
Also high schools are basically in the bag to push college or else you'll be a failure for the rest of your life. Bascially how they put it. This puts a lot of pressure on kids and parents to take out huge loans. It's pretty much loan sharks x10. Rather than really understand where a kid should go based off their interest or what they excel at. They just say, "go to college or bust". Many of these kids would be so much better off at trade school.
