Way to throw out broad, and wildly incorrect generalities.
Hey now I said gamers/flunkers meaning gamers or big failures. You don't have to assume I meant you were a big loser and get all defensive buddy.


As for the other guy talking about these advanced classes... wow you must be real smart.

Advanced classes in college.... guess I missed those I just took the normal ones that gave me a degree and led to a real job. Plus out of my friends that have graduated college only the ones that can't get a job have gone on to grad school because they can't make it in the real world yet.

For some paths grad school is a must right after undergrad, but for the majority getting job experience and taking grad school while working is the way to go and will get you a lot farther.

It also allows you to know what you are doing and what your career path is if you work before grad school. In my case I'm taking the CFA which easily trumps a grad school degree and I'm glad I didn't waste my time with grad school before I knew exactly what I was interested in.
