Snow White was dull and didn't say much

I'm becoming a little resentful of my higher education.

I just spent the weekend with one of my nearest and dearest friends Miss Green. Part of me invited her to town just to prove she was still alive. For a while, I was convinced they line us up in our purple robes on graduation day and just shoot us in the back. However, Miss Green proved that life (un)fortunately continues and Stephen Colbert is not really here to deliver a mass eulogy.

But what did I just spend four years doing? Sure I went to the #12 school in the USA (#14? #10? What are we today? I dunno, donate.) But what new knowledge am I entering this alleged "real world" with? If a job posting is going to require a 4-year degree, is it not yet fair for them to assume one would be proficient in Microsoft Word and Excel or at least have the brain power to figure it out? What does the world expect us to have learned in 4 years?

Well, I did take History of the Holocaust so I guess I can tell you Hitler was a douche and Poland got the shit beat out of it...but I'd already seen Schindler's List. I also took Human Sexuality and learned that every decision we make is based on gettin our rocks off...but I've been a dude for 22 years so I knew that too. I never took Econ but I know people who did and through them I learned that there's a new problem set every day...but I don't think I needed college for that either.

So here we are $200,000 later and entering the world pretty much as freshman back on the same level with all of our peers trying to prove to the world we just spent 4 years bettering ourselves for whatever jobs they're willing to give us...

...and I just thank God for making me pretty.

Oh please God let me be an actor,
