Realistically, unless you are going to work, in say, one of those wonder bubbles in which the outside world has no effect, you will learn everything to need to know for a job in the workplace.Jesus Christ wrote:Good advice, you'll notice that I left out the second half of the quote. The second part was bad advice.baby arm wrote:If you care about the subject, read the whole book and go to every lecture. Take advantage of the time and learn as much as you can. If you don't care, just do the minimum to get by.
It all boils down to this. Are you going to continue studying the subject later? Are you ever going to need the subject for future career plans? If you answered no to the preceding questions than it is OK to just float, otherwise you had better study your ass off.

Will Hunting's (Matt Damon) debate words: ("Of course that's your contention. You're a first year grad student. You just got finished readin' some Marxian historian -- Pete Garrison probably. You're gonna be convinced of that 'til next month when you get to James Lemon, and then you're gonna be talkin' about how the economies of Virginia and Pennsylvania were entrepreneurial and capitalist way back in 1740. That's gonna last until next year -- you're gonna be in here regurgitating Gordon Wood, talkin' about, you know, the Pre-revolutionary utopia and the capital-forming effects of military mobilization... Wood drastically -- Wood drastically underestimates the impact of social distinctions predicated upon wealth, especially inherited wealth.' You got that from Vickers, 'Work in Essex County,' page 98, right? Yeah, I read that too. Were you gonna plagiarize the whole thing for us? Do you have any thoughts of your own on this matter? Or do you...is that your thing? You come into a bar. You read some obscure passage and then pretend...you pawn it off as your own idea just to impress some girls and embarrass my friend? See, the sad thing about a guy like you is in 50 years you're gonna start doin' some thinkin' on your own and you're gonna come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life. One: don't do that. And two: You dropped a hundred and fifty grand on a f----n' education you coulda' got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library.")sprog wrote:I understand where you're coming from with psychology, I find it a very dry subject for some reason. However, if you can force yourself to study it avidly while you must, I do not think you'll regret it. While it may not be "useful" to you in the long run, you may be glad that you didn't sleep through it.
Besides, don't you wanna know stuff?
Aren't you supposed to have final exams and shit right now?Kashluk wrote:I take school rather seriously myself... I've been succesful and I'm happy about it. My grades are excellent, but I don't stress that much about the whole thing. It's just school - it's much easier to triumph with books, formulas and memorized facts than to cope with real life. Having done great in school doesn't really mean shit in the big picture.
I disagree, studying isn't only about the fancy theories and books. Hell, everyone can learn any job, but knowledge is what makes your contibution so speshul. You get a much broader view of the work compared to the suckers that start at the bottom, new contacts and ideas etc. Plus, you get a few extra years of fun and drinking instead of working 8-4 every day for the rest of your life.MFG9000 wrote:Realistically, unless you are going to work, in say, one of those wonder bubbles in which the outside world has no effect, you will learn everything to need to know for a job in the workplace.
I am not going to break in the slightest.Spazmo wrote:Mandy, obviously, is about to break. I mean, maybe you just go to a really shitty school, right? I go to a reputable university and most of the people I meet (in my program, arts students are brain-dead) are really sharp.
