text: whats the point of going to school? wats the point wen u could just go to college and learn about what you need to learn for your job??!? it teaches you to be subordinate, to navigate a beurocracy, to be anonymous.  it teaches you that you dont have to know anything to have a job (if any old job's ok), you just have to be subordinate, to be able to navigate a beurocracy, to be anonymous.  of course, if you invest yourself in learning you might actually learn something.
