Wow. I got better courses than that at the community college. To get an Associate’s that would transfer to my mid-level university, I had to take 2 years of math, 1 year of lab science, 2 years of History, American Lit, World Lit, and 2 years of foreign language.
No college degree: Steve Jobs, Rush Limbaugh.
Ivy League elite degrees: Barack Obama, Tim Geithner, Jamie Gorelick, Ben Bernanke.
Any more questions?
I too had a number of required courses. I worked my butt off so I could graduate with two degrees and a minor in 4 years. I was astounded to meet classmates who took only 4 classes per semester (12 credits). My last semester in college I took either 21 or 23 credit hours. Most people just don’t work like that anymore.
I remember being shocked when I heard a senior say, “You know I’m a senior and this is the first time I’ve ever been in the library.” Years later I’m not shocked by how stupid people are today.
