I think college has become the new high school. The kids coming out of high school nowdays are as smart as junior high school students used to be and a lot of the college students don't have any common sense, or know anything about US or World events from more than 5 years ago, or know how anything works. I bet most of them think all the news about "Deep Throat" this week is about a porno movie.

What?! It isn't! Damn it, no wonder I couldn't find a midnight screening!

I have to agree with ecoli. 8 years out of high school for me, and the majority of teenagers now days are dumbasses and have very little common sense. It was quite the opposite in the late 1990s, but seems to have got downhill in a hurry. Hell, even college grads today seem unprepared for the real world, as if life is just a big game without responsibilities.

xluciusx · 06-02-2005

You guys are full of it. People have been saying that same garbage for fifty years. Lots of dumbasses make it through high school, they always have and lots of dumbasses get through college too. College is only as hard as the classes you choose to take. Its supposed to be that way.

I'm nearly done with my first quarter at Brown in Mendota Heights and you can definately see the difference between some of the older students and the newer students. The new ones just seem so unprepared and I don't know if that is because they don't have a lot of experience, or that high schools baby students so much nowadays. I have been out of HS for about 3 years now, but I can still see so much of a difference it is funny. I think it is great how someone spending 81K to be in my program and they just fluff through it, but that is kind of a different topic all together...

xluciusx · 06-02-2005

I think the real reason for the difference is that people fresh out of HS have no life experience. In general they have spent all of their life up to that point living off their parents. Once they go to college and get out on their own they usually have to grow up a lot pretty fast...and people who are already past that see them and think, "damn what an idiot, I'm sure I was never like that"

Alpine TSi · 06-02-2005

Well, personally I wasn't like that, but I am pretty close to an exception to the general populace. Yeah fresh out of school kids have little experience, but sometimes you want just want to say "WTF" to some of their actions that SHOULD be common sense to junio high kids.

Yes I graduated from HS June 23, 1990... My Masters Degree should be in my hands around May of 2015 at the pace I am at now with college courses!!

Im done with college at Dunwoody on June 10th. I will have my degree in Electrical Construction and Maintenance. The time I have spent here went by incredibly fast. On the subject of new students and "old" students I have noticed alot of the older people have a hard time with computers. In one of my computer classes some of the older guys didnt even know how to make the font bigger when using microsoft word.
There is always going to be dumbasses, no matter what the age is.

Graduated HS 3 years ago. Going for a MIS bachelors degree from Metro State and should be done in about 1.5 years. Might do a Masters but well see how this goes and how the market is for jobs.

xluciusx · 06-02-2005

MIS huh? Thats what I'm going to school for. Hope you can find a job pretty easy so I can too

**JET** · 06-02-2005

I go to Metro State too Peter (intermittantly :P ). I am a senior, but there isn't any time to finish up right now with the business taking off.

1slowdsm · 06-02-2005

I will be graduating pretty soon here from high school. I wont be done until the 8th and I'm officially done on the 9th. Where are you graduating from BKs50trimGST?

A//// Guy · 06-02-2005

Thats cool Jet, yea Ive been transfering all my classes from Normandale to Metro because it works really nice that way. Normandale doesnt have 4 year degrees so thats why I went with metro to finish up, plus its nice and cheap and alot of options for night/day/online class. I live lie 2 blocks from Normandale so it was nice to not have to commute very far for the first couple of years. I can only take 1 more class at normandale that will count as a transfer before I start going full time to metro. Last fall was my first semester there and it went pretty well.
