Don't even talk to me about the LSAT like it's a thing

I never took the GRE. I took the LSAT after reading the Princeton Review book. I had no prep at all for the PSAT/SAT/ACT. I didn't know there were tutoring courses, etc, for most of them and wouldn't have had access to them if I did.

And yes I am bitter and whiny about it, I try very hard not to whine, and I acknowledge I've squandered my gifts, but I still think I got a bit of a raw deal.

We didn't have AP classes. I found out about the CLEP tests basically by accident. I took them cold because again, didn't have any other resources. When I started college I already had a semester's worth of credit.

Without which, incidentally, I would not have graduated on time because screw general education requirements. And I only took the ones I thought I could pass and could afford, because silly me, I thought they were supposed to be hard.

This thread is infuriating to read I didn't get the usual sociopath-approach-to-college advice either, and I probably wouldn't have followed it if I had In the end I guess I sort of lucked my way around the cracks in the system Fucking system

my mind recoils from thinking about these kids just doing what's put in front of them to do and emerging with a credential that all the value has been sucked out of and six figures in debt can't entirely blame them for going "yay socialism, let's do that"

I am rapidly approaching that point myself, although I think I'd prefer it if we just went straight to the Fight Club scenario, I'd probably die quickly but socialism seems really soul-suckingly depressing in large doses.

yeah, i don't know how people manage to not even be sympathetic to #BTFSTTG sentiment even if they shy away from fully embracing it
socialist measures are fine as long as they don't require mind control or planned economies, so, y'know, like a microdose of socialism

Democratic socialism a la the Nordic countries is workable under the right conditions and may even produce a reasonably tolerable society. It is incredibly vulnerable to disruption and isn't workable outside of some fairly tight parameters.

it requires an external revenue source to be viable or else you just ruin your economy with ever spiraling taxation to maintain the expanding welfare state. the success stories have natural resource economies (Norway) or massive export surpluses (Germany).
