Ya, not alot of 'compassionate conservative' in here, it's the bitching that really got on my nerves. We're in university here, not highschool. If she finds those courses hard but still has to take them concurently then she'll just have to buckle down, work hard, and maybe drop a few side intrests off her calender. Frankly I'm amazed at how many students seem to think they should be able to be in a frat/sorority, four different student groups, and still have two or three nights a week for going out with friends. That's not how college works if you want to come out with a competitive skill set. And yes, that's what I believe everything boils down to. Someone mentioned that it doesn't matter if you have a degree from a good college, you're still at the mercy of 'The Man'. Well a degree doesn't mean dick if you arn't more skilled at what you do than most of your peers, that's how the market works, not some ghostly 'Man' working to keep you down. The skilled always rise to the top and succeed, the less skilled blame their lackluster results on something other than themselves.
So yeah, no NeoCon's here, I'm all old school!
