Keep 'Em Stupid


It really annoys me when people comment on how good a course is, when they know nothing about the course.

A few years back a university in the UK had a degree in "surfing". The press ridiculed it and they dropped it, or changed the name.

Basically it taught the business of surfing, setting up a company that dealt in things like teaching people to surf, surf board manufacture and things like that. The place where the course would be taught has a lot of surfers and a lot if university students.

basically this course would have been quite useful for a lot of people who want to make a living through a popular pastime.

But the press didn't criticize literature. I mean, reading books and writing about them is mostly a complete and utter waste of time. Most Literature students don't use anything they learned from their course in their post degree life.
