Ran into a girl I know that had left for college. She’s back with a degree in . . .
Medical Records and Billing!
WTF?
You need a degree in how to keep records and bill people? No wonder when I get a bill from the doctor, it always looks like a convoluted mess and I have the sneaking suspicion I am being double billed, even if the charges are different, the dates are the same.
Yes, you can now get a college degree in every thing under the sun.
What a joke.
Met a school counselor too and finally found out what they do for their full time job. No, it isn’t counseling troubled youths, that’s what the juvenile criminal justice system is for . .
No, the school counselor goes from classroom to classroom lecturing the students on:
1) Don’t be a bully (also known as all violence is evil, even when you defend yourself, be a rat instead and go to the teacher authority figure)
2) Don’t lie or cheat. Not a bad thing in itself.
3) Obey authority. Be good little obedient sheep. (Puke)
4) How wonderful diversity is, don’t make fun of people that are different. With lovely little stories about armadillos with ears that are three feet long.
she goes to each classroom each week and spends an hour on this.
The next time the public schools are whining about how there isn’t enough money for art, music, language, or sports remember that they are squandering money on school counselors instead.
