I'm not sure where this belongs but whatever. I hail from the progressive wasteland known as California. I finished a BS in Biology circa 2010 at a CSU system school, the original intent was to pursue medical school. Unfortunately while completing said B.S. I came to the realization that I am a dumb and lazy cunt that didn't have enough ammo to be a competitive applicant. As i got close to completing my BS i started bugging admin to let me get a second B.S. in engineering, had a meeting with the cunty vice dean who told me that Ahnold had gutted the schools so badly that they were pretty much throwing every app with a previous BS into the trashcan to give future virgin students a chance to get a Bachelors. I argued that i hadn't officially graduated and i wanted to forego the like one class i had left to finish Biology and transition into Engy cuz I felt like I could get better job opportunities, and i wouldn't linger too long since I had done all the non-core coursework and some advanced math. She told me to stfu and graduate and gtfo, essentially. This was in 2010. After like i dunno how many years of da gawds Obummer and Jerry Brown, I go in today to rectify another miserable debt laden enterprise leaning into the depths of saturation and obsolescence. Here I am trying to lift myself up by my bootstraps, ready to fully pay for tuition to bravely combat the transformational changes on the labor market affected by technological disruption and supply saturation. I've been told yet again to fuck right off and to instead attempt to pipe dream myself into a Master's degree spot in a subject that is completely unrelated to my previous studies. Land of da free. I mean the huge draw of both California state systems , especially the CSU system, is their affordability. It's kind of easy to see how private and for profits thrive in such a scenario...or people simply refuse to go back and retrain. I mean CSU is probably adopting the optimal strategy given current budgetary constraints but yeah.... It sucks, you dun goofed warcawk
TL:DR California state schools essentially won't allow you to get a second bachelors due to bugetary constraints which is quite concerning given the prophecy of automation/violent labor market shifts, this is setting aside social mobility, inequality and like you know doing what the fuck you want to do at one point or another in your life. Fucking millennials.
Euros can you chime in on this? I thought you guys were even more restrictive than us with schooling.
