For some people it most definitely is a waste. We need grunts. This whole idea of sending people to college to drink and party and get degrees in underwater basket weaving or some other bullshit is a waste of resources. Some people never should step foot in higher education. They don't need to know Portuguese or that's what's spoken in Brazil. They just need to know how to make a certain widget.

Who decides who's a worker drone, not worthy of education, Trip?

Weed em out in high school. Stricter entrance guidelines in college. Want to prove you belong in college, go to a tech school or CC. Earn your way in. If you want to dick off, off to the factory with you.

A lot of our colleges are turning into a joke. We have to up entrance fees, so we can make sure Douchebag Tom can take Ancient Asian Art Studies and then wind up working in his local Best Buy as an assistant manager. If he is lucky then he can find a way to hang around at college and get a doctorate in something equally as worthless and train another generation in some piece of shit subject which further handicaps the American population against foreigners coming into our country and getting high level engineering/science degrees worth a damn at our schools and going back home and advancing their country while we get stuck with Dr. Douchebag Tom.
Sorry, we need to weed out programs and make college affordable and educate our leaders with classes that are actually worth a damn.

If a foreigner can speak English, it's only because A) he was forced to by his school, or B) he wanted a job that required English. Why is that impressive? I'm sure if either of those conditions were true for an American, they'd pick up another language too. If either A) or B) is not true, then there really is no point in becoming good at another language. I mean how many times is the average American going to fly overseas to the SAME country over and over? I could see learning Spanish just because there are so many Spanish-speaking people here, but what other nationality has a big enough presence here, that would give you the opportunity to USE what you learned every day? Because if you don't, you lose it, so what was the point of learning it?

Cultural awareness counts for nothing? Brazilian schools all teach English. Most Brazilians can't even get a fucking visa to visit here, even though they are some of the highest spending tourists abroad...such a waste, all that education, huh?
