feel free to word personal information so that it's as anonymous as possible(i.e. make up different/omit name, omit locations, etc.)

I got flamed relentlessly for this on another board.

Good luck. It's not really bullshit you know. I'm sure almost everybody took those kind of classes (I assume its some kind of career class?). These kind of thing help you research the different kinds of career field that are available for you and it can help you narrow your choices.

btw, I'm a student, does that count?

Negative. It's a study skills class. Also studied: the varying stages of racial identity and weight loss.

How that optimizes my learning is beyond me.

What really pisses me off is that the university forced me to shovel out ~$600 and take this class(that doesn't count for any credit) because my highschool class rank was low. Nevermind that my transcripts from the previous college that I attended were great..

Just another way for them to steal my money, I guess. Assholes.
