The Paper Chase

The Paper Chase

Once upon a time, I was smart in programming cos I live and eat and sleep programming everyday for years. But I didn't have a paper to show my potential employer. They want to see my paper before they want to interview me. I didn't even had a chance to enter the interview room.

Ok, so you want a paper. I pay more than $10,000 to sit in the class and listen to those idiot unqualified teachers teaching things they don't know. When I asked them questions, they have no answer, cos they wre merely repeating what the textbook says. They read only one book. I read 10 books on the same subject. I would have teach the lecturers instead. Finally, I got the paper and the door was open.

Did I really learn from the classroom that I couldn't learn elsewhere? I learnt nothing. I learnt that the students cheat their way. I learnt that the students get their friends to mark their attendance in class. It was a charade.

In the end, not a single student changed their career as a result of taking the course. Because they knew that the course did not provide them the real competence to perform. It's was just theories and head knowledge. They can learn by hard the seven layers of networking, how the RAM and ROM work. But can they assemble a LAN in an office?
