I'm Being Discriminated Against Because of GPA

[malmalthekiller]

Honey, I'm sorry but your GPA sucks. It's not discrimination. You can change your GPA. Not your gender or if your skin is blue, yellow or purple.

I sort of agree.

I'm not going to say that I'm better than you because my grades were better, but my major wasn't science or math, and I didn't go to an amazing school.

I was a communications major, and I never got below a 3.5 and graduated with honors. My brain isn't hardwired for sciences or math.

But it is school, and you can get your grades up.

The 30-second business course.

Look at GM, Chrysler, AIG, CitiGroup, and Blockbuster.

Don't do what they did.

Fin.

Yeah. Right. I believe you.

I'm no longer happy to see you, Irv. *glare*

Hey! You're the one who started this! Let the poor girl study in peace!

Besides, I've spent a lot of time in the dungeon. You don't want to go there. It's dark and damp and smells like old socks.

EQ? A poor girl? Are you sure we're talking about the same person?

I am not going to say my major (broadcasting) was hard. Because for me, it wasn't.

That being said, I was often amused by my dormmates who were majoring in engineering or architecture who classified my major as "easy." When they did that, I offered them an opportunity to come on down to the radio station and edit a 30 minute interview down to 5 minutes, make it flow, and have it make sense, without any bad edits. Most declined. I also offered them a chance to be ON the radio station, or in front of a camera. You know, public speaking. And this was the point where the vast majority of them told me to stuff it and walked off in a huff, complaining about people with easy majors being assholes.

Most people are scared to death of public speaking. Especially engineering majors.



*Before any engineering majors get up in my face, the above comment was in reference simply to my experience with my dormmates at my college, and was made to make the point that what is easy to one may not be easy to another. I am sure there are engineers who are exceptional public speakers, but please, save us both some heartache. Put down the keyboard and slowly back away.

That is exactly why I don't feel bad when people knock my major, because most of it involves public speaking.

It did bother me that there were people in the major that didn't like doing presenting.
