I wish I could live in the same reality as those people that say "A Bachelor's is more than just the certificate, it's about the pursuit of knowledge". I get that yeah that's the case when you're a wealthy individual that has nothing but leisure time, but for everyone else you need to make that bread.
I mean, given that students have for long periods crammed for tests 72 hours before and that the number of course hours is also sparse and inefficient, I am surprised it took this long.
