Thank god this is UFB because something about this hits my rage button.
I understand why the top students in America study physics, chemistry, calculus and classic literature. The kids in this brainy group are the future professors, scientists, thinkers and engineers who will propel civilization forward. But why do we make B students sit through these same classes? That's like trying to train your cat to do your taxes—a waste of time and money. Wouldn't it make more sense to teach B students something useful, like entrepreneurship?

Uh, since when did being a B student mean stupid and/or not fit for rigorous studies? Depending on the grading scheme, B is where you end up if you're competent and know the material, but don't have a perfect polish.

I'm a B student. I study classical literature. Did I just pop out of existence even more?

Meanwhile, some of my peers were taking courses in art history so they'd be prepared to remember what art looked like just in case anyone asked.

Oh God. He's one of those morons who wants to go to a university, but hates the idea of a liberal education.

Also gotta love how for him, entrepreneurship is all about taking advantage of people and situations. Who cares if anything he does is beneficial if he gets paid!
