In recent days I have become interested in thing of my past.
It started with a former childhood friend sending me a picture with her new announcing her new son. Then I started thinking about a former interest of mine, the royal family of Spain.
It caused me to re-examine my life. I started thinking ” Have I accomplish what I wanted to by now?” I answer is an emphatic No! I haven’t accomplished what I had planned to.
I started looking into going back to college and finishing my degree. I so found out that this is going to be harder then I thought it was going to be. First off, a $31,000+ tution fee per year is out and out usery and is ridiculous to be nice about it. On top of that pick a math. I have yet to see a college/university graduate that wasn’t in engineering or somthing along those lines use trigonometry. I can see (barely) why we need College Algebra. Honestly though I really can’t see the reason why we really need it as in it is essential that we have it. I mean have you ever talked to a university graduates that said ‘ man, am I glad I took college algebra. Without it my degree would be shit.” No, I highly doubt that many people have unless it is a Science or mathematics degree major.
I really think that Universities/Colleges just put a lot of this stuff in to beef up the degree. I know that I will have to do things their way but it still really pisses my off.
