That sounds harsh. I'm pretty sure internships are part of the education here. Three years ago, I spoke with a girl and she quit psychology, cause they cutted down on the practical experience. I have no idea how it is now, though.
I think here at the more "prestigious" schools you still get the practical experience, but mine was one that almost anyone could get into as long as they weren't a complete dumbass in high school, so a lot of the courses reflected that I think. Almost all of them were strictly learning from a textbook, close to zero hands-on. There were actually some courses that I never went to except when there was an exam or paper due because I learned just as much staying home reading my text than I would have listening to my professor repeat the exact same shit.

Two of my best friends also studied psychology, one is currently jobless & the other is now studying to become a personal trainer instead, so it isn't just me.

I see. When it comes to this kind of work, the practical experience is really important too.

    Kindergarten teacher ffs :D. In three month my I'll start writing on my BA.
    It all started with High School (business school) and then I spend a year working trying to figure out what to do. I was thinking about Law School, but then I talked to someone about becoming a shipping trainee, which I almost did.
    I ended up studying marketing and economics, but after a year-and-a-half I couldn't see myself in that line of work.

    And here I am. That's the story of my life.

    Edit: I forgot to mention heavy drinking and being an asshole, as a big part of my life too.

    Word, son, my undergrad degree is in Finance and Economics, was in Sales and Marketing, originally. My old man is an attorney, so much love there.

    So you run around with brat-kids and have a grand old time, I take it. Much more patience than I, well played in any case. I have to be off of here now, have to go see about a girl tomorrow, probably marry this one.

    Late, you Cope' prick, I'll catch you on the flipside.

    The rich get richer, the poor, poorer.

    One thing that really opened my eyes was when I was a Women's Studies minor in college for a year. The majority of the classes are history-based, and socially based, like social work. Well it's crazy how if you make x amount of money a year, then you get so many tax breaks and it's ALMOST okay to live on. As soon as you make y amount, which is about 5% above x (we're talking the difference between like $22,000 and $24,500 a year) the tax breaks go away and all of a sudden, everything in your life is 35% more expensive.

    So you get more money overall, but it means for less of a life or a living. So that's why a lot of the poor are content to stay that way.
    I somewhat agree. Part of the reason why I dread getting a high paying job is I'll need to pay higher taxes. Although I'm need to look more deeper into tax exemptions.

    Irish people pay the highest tax in Europe with none of it actually giving us good services.

    I hope she exploits that Brit off of his money and natural resources for the rest of their lives. I'll consider it payback for the centuries of Indian colonization.

    Isn't that the nature of taxes anyway? :D

    To this day I don't believe it either, dude just fuckin seduced me.

    And at this point in time it's more convenient for me to move there than for him to come to the US, he's a lot more settled there (property, car, job) than I am here. The only thing I'll really miss here is my social life, I have a weird feeling that I'll have trouble making friends there, but I could be wrong.
