At middle-age I went back to school. None of my previous college counted, so I had to start all over. I didn't finish this time either...why? All the BS requirements that wasted my money and time, and the liberal indoctrination centers.
Even the science degrees require you to take 'studies' courses in unrelated fields. It helps to produce a well rounded college graduate.
I had a similar experience when I looked into getting a Computer Science degree. (I’m already employed in the computer field and make good money. I was looking to expand my skills)
The degree required me to waste a lot of time on stuff that was not pertinent to my goal. Being as I was already employed full time, I felt I didn’t have the time or energy for more than just computer classes.
