Unless my crystal ball has stopped working, we’re soon going to hear a lot of talk about “free college education for all.” What a fabulous idea! But Fimbo College is two years ahead of the curve.
This higher education is practically a guaranteed ticket to a lifetime’s unemployment! And all in return for just a thousand cereal boxtops! That and an official college degree in Gender Studies–what more could you possibly ask?
On the original post I commented that there was little difference between Fimbo College and today’s colleges and universities, but I’ll have to take that back now. Today’s colleges and universities are worse.
I hope you’ve checked out the TV listings–remember, you asked for it!
Well, you get what you pay for. I’ve met a lot of recent grads that were essentially helpless in the real world.
There are a lot of things I just can’t do, most of them having to do with machines. Drive a standard shift, for instance. My father tried to teach me, and was horrified at the result. But that’s me–probably I still couldn’t do those things if I’d never gone to college. At least I’m a good political scientist… which is worth just about nothing.
Machines are fine be me, but I can’t draw a picture to save my life.
