“I’m dropping out and doing blue collar shit”

School isn't for everyone, glad he realizes this now

Math kept me out of college because I had a series of terrible instructors who would just move on if you didn't understand.

If majority of the class is failing, it’s the professor’s fault. When I took organic chemistry, everyone in the class was failing. We would get to class early to try to teach each other concepts from the previous class before the professor showed up. College can be great but not every teacher wants to be there or cares if you learn anything. Blue collar sh*t pays, I don’t blame him. I’m trying to convince my nieces and nephews that welders, electricians and plumbers are needed and are good jobs. You don’t need a college degree.

Everyone in every physics class is always failing, same with engineering, unless you are part of gifted elite. Dramatic curves near the end help but you need to prepare your emotions. You do a ton of rigourous study and end up blowing it on tests. You have to have a strong desire to learn physics to make it though.

The person recording and laughing is irritating me. Maybe stand in solidarity with the guy if what he is saying is true. Why is the majority of the class failing? Yes, physics is hard, but some lecturers are the reason why students fail, especially if its majority of the class.

Problem is he took physics. Shoulda taken horticulture.

I can empathize with that for sure. Honestly better to realize before it's too late. I'm grateful that I found interest in blue collar work straight out of high school. Fast forward 20 years and I'm comfortable making $250k with no degree. I can't imagine being fresh out of uni and strapped with $110k-$200k in student loan debt entering a shaky job market. That 💩 gives me anxiety just thinking about it.

ITT ton of folk who have never been in one of these classes.

A) its likely on a curve. Not everyone is failing, though it can yes feel like that

B) Yes it is a skills issue. Math and Science classes are fucking hard. They have weed out classes for a reason, you dont want to get to junior year before you realize you cant hack it. The spread of math and science skills kids have coming from high school into college is insane. So many struggle because they literally dont have the base skills the classes require.

C) Yes many of these classes and professors do also outright suck. But im sorry, anyone crashing out like this, claiming one class is why they are dropping out, isnt who im taking sides with.

You can drop a section, you can switch classes, you can switch majors even. 75% of all college grads never take a calc base physics class.

This kid made their decision to drop out and is just finding others to blame. It's fine to decide to pursue a blue collar career instead. It is their own issues and insecurities about that which are causing them to lash out

I can barely hear what he is saying over the sound effects and laughter.

All I could make out was "this is bullshit, bro. I'm dropping out, dude."...my ass" "...majority of this class is fuckin' failing..." "...I'm doing blue collar shit..."

What else did he say?? What did the professor say?
