The Life of Reidy

My new job requires that I do direct programming to focus on the academic needs of the incoming class of freshman at a state college. In other words, I do a bunch of programs that no one wants to go to and no one bothers to go to. It shocks and depresses me about how little these students care about their education and makes me wonder if they even value the fact that their parents are even sending them to school. Through my evaluations I've seen that these guys are still in such a high school mentality and it makes me wonder who really is or isn't made out for college yet. But since my school has such a low requirement for admission (which will hopefully be raised anyway) they don't feel the need to discriminate those who want a good, inexpensive education as opposed to those jusst going along for the college ride and inevitably screwing themselves over in the end.

There, that rant is done.
