Well, it is more useful than most of the computer science degrees I've seen. 
A college for...umm, you know.

It is a pre-screening tool for businesses and the armed services (for officers). If you have earned a B.S., you have likely done all of the following:shesulsa said:
--Followed through on a 4-year project;
--Met deadlines;
--Demonstrated minimal reading, writing, and arithmetic skills;
--Been in a multicultural environment;
--Met certain attendance requirements;
--Demonstrated an ability to negotiate a bureacracy;
--Demonstrated some respect for superiors in your chain of command;
--Demonstrated that you have above-average high school preparation;
--Developed a disciplinary perspective, or technical skills, in some discipline;
--Demonstrated the ability to get along with others (classmates, dormmates);
--Etc.
Note, I say 'demonstrated' not 'developed' in most cases. A H.S. graduate may well have these skills, but a college graduate is much more likely to have them. It also skews toward the upper social classes, which will be seen as desirable for many jobs (the 'right image').
It's a proxy for many other things.

C'mon, nobody's made a "hand's-on" approach to teaching joke yet? I'm shamed.
I heard all the exams were oral.
what?
what?
In 16 years of teaching math., I've only had one serious offer of sex in exchange for a grade.
I wonder if things might be better here?

This is so stupid it's funny, of course, considering that it's San Francisco, I'm not exactly surprised.
Just out of curiosity, does anyone know whether or not prostitution is legal in San Francisco? (I thought Las Vegas was the only place it was legal?) If not, you could almost make the argument that those in charge of organizing the "instruction" are conspirators or accomplices in a crime. How would this be any different from a seminar on "Success in the cocaine business." Workshops:
1) The best way to get the product accross the border.
2) Methods of cutting the product to increase profit.
3) How to not get busted by the PO-lice
etc.

Actually, it's not legal in Las Vegas (or anywhere in Clark County), just everywhere ELSE in Nevada.kenpotex said:
What I'm curious about is if they take walk-ins.
I mean I can go to the beautician school for a cheap haircut, and I could take my car to the vocational school for some cheap body work....
Wait....that actually really happens?arnisador said:In 16 years of teaching math., I've only had one serious offer of sex in exchange for a grade.

I may want to reconsider that career in academia...
I've been to SF often, and the streetwalkers are...not shy. But, I'm sure it's illegal.
Better than law school though...that's immoral!

Actually it is illegal in the city of Las Vegas. It is legal outside the city though.

FS: ** Huff ** Walks out of office upset.
I: ** Smiling and and laughing to self, unknowing the secretary is outside.
Secretary: ** LOL ROFL **

There's obviously a big difference between a streetwalking crack hoe and a professional courtesan. Streetwalkers make 100 bucks a night, Courtesans make 300 bucks an hour.
It's all just part of the hospitality industry anyhow, even though it might be a black-hat profession.

At least ten times as profitable as my Culinary degree and a fraction of the cost to get.
