This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Why would you sign up to college to willfully learn nothing

Because college is awesome and many employers use a degree as a simple filter any way

Not a single person I've worked with in software has gotten a job with just a diploma/degree since like the early 2000s

Maybe it's different in some places.

"Necessary, but not sufficient" sums up the role of a degree for a lot of jobs.
