You are an idiot. You work in the field you love, if you can. A degree is simply evidence of training.

I never made any clam about my work history on this thread huh
So I Don’t need to prove anything
You made a claim
That gives me the right to ask you of proof of your claim
And there is no evidence you have ever had a job outside of when you've been incarcerated.
Can't prove a negative sploogy, It's up to you to prove you HAVE ever held a job on the outside.
But we both know you haven't. The only time you stay sober is when you're incarcerated - which is frequently.

Of course not - you have no work history.
Which is proof in it's own right.
Which you have now essentially proven.
My proof is your inability to show any history of employment. Because you've never been employed,

Your brain case is full of skunk piss and pig bile
It’s what happens when you let people fuck you in your ears for over a decade
Hey, I meant to tell you congrats! You've been out for nearly a month. No doubt your PO piss tests you, so you must have good counter measures.
Lets see if you can go 6 months without going back in, this time?

It means she did not have a foreign language equivalency. Not important in my thinking.
She could check programs like Texas Tech that have bridge program from B.S. to PhD.
I think she wants to stay local, looking at CSU Colorado Springs...

Decent school. If she is conservative Christian, a good town for her.
I’ve known several HR people in organizations.
They have a lot of power, too much.
I’d estimate a good half did more to sabotage their organizations than help them.
I knew one that actively created a hostile work environment toward employees as if to demonstrate her power and control.
I could give several other examples of their incompetence.
FWIW, they were all women.

Good and bad HRs exist, yes.
My mechanic's daughter is a professor there!
This is a problem, and I think to examine what the policies around grading should be we need to focus first on the goal. What is the goal of our educational institutions.
Is our goal is to educate students so that they can be healthy and productive members of our society?
Is it more braud, to teach them that hard work results in benefits?
Is it to teach them how to negotiate the current world, or how we want them to negotiate an imperfect world.
The Capitalist world is not what I was taught in school, it is not anywhere as close to as idealistic as I had thought. The ability to get away with "cheating" is far more valuable than I thought. The parent and so some extent the school system must determine what our children should learn, and its much deeper than reading, writing and arithmetic. Its how to navigate our culture and more specifically our economy.
My goal has always been to cultivate an education for my children that enables them to be healthy and able to get the things they need in our culture, without harming others. Our system is flawed in several ways for such a set up... Cheaters generally get better grades, if they are good at cheating. Overachievers often sacrifice happiness and wellbeing to attain the trophy.... the grade. Hard workers will, on average, do better than less handworkers, but cheating often leapfrogs this result. I have tried to teach my children to work hard and not focus on the grade, but focus on what you learned.
I've had mixed results with this method.
Child #1, got B's and C's with one or two D's in High School. He ended up going to Community College then transferring to the University of Florida, he will get a prestigious degree and nobody will look back and say, ya, but you had to do the Community College route due to your grades.
Child #2 worked her ass off, she took the hardest classes and got straight A's. Never once in school did she get a "B", she scored way above average on the SAT, but.... not so high that she was accepted into the University of Florida outright. She is going to FSU, which is a great school but not as highly ranked as UF.
Child #3 seems to be following the path of Child #1, average grades, but she almost always finds a way to get what she wants.
I suspect all three will follow different but very successful paths, but If I were hiring someone, I would not focus so much on the prestige of the school, or the grades, but how they attained those achievements and why. If you want a hard worker, hire Child 2, if you want a person who knows how to get things done without the hard work, hire children #'s 1 and 3.
Another kid from the neighborhood, barely got out of High School, but he found a way to pass, he went to college and was unable to pass any classes his first semester. He does however have a brilliant mind in some ways, so when he found the perfect fit for his type of intelligence, he has succeeded, thus far way beyond the kids in his class will likely ever succeed, because he found the right situation for his type of drive and intelligence.
They will all be very successful, and I would go to different kids for different things.
Anyway, my point is that grades are meaningless unless you understand the person, how and why they got them.
There are some people who are not very intelligent, and no matter how hard they work they will never get A's, but they are often better suited to deal with out economy and social system than those who easily get straight A's.
You might get an A if you mastered the skill of convincing the grader that you are a master, rather than actually being a master.
This happens MUCH more than one thinks.
