Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Yeah, it's probably the best solution we have at the moment. Still, I think it's important to acknowledge the flaws so we can collectively think of solutions for them.
There isn't a straightforward answer to this. You're going to see a lot of disagreement on the purpose of a degree. Some argue that it's a testament to your proficiency in that area. Some say it should reflect your ability to hold a job related to that degree. There are probably others I'm not thinking of. Test-taking abilities are a decent proxy for these objectives, but it doesn't perfectly reflect either.
