I just figured out that my new University is kinda crappy.
To start off I already have a degree in Sociology, Psychology, and a minor in Criminal Justice. That alone puts me two social science degrees above my "Developing Nations" professors.

Not only do I have more of a degree than my professor but he also didn't know the term "Division of Labor", what it does, or how to apply it. He also didn't know how to pronounce the name of one of the most prominent sociologists ever, Max Weber (Max Vay-ber).

The rest of the school isn't much better.

1. Why are you there?

By the way, most university faculties are pretty crappy - unless you're eighteen years old.

4. I'm going back for my Master's in secondary ed in May...
... and I am getting a few more classes in so I can be licensed in a few more things.

I'm starting to think I might not want it from there.

5. Even I know how to pronounce Max Weber's name
and I am just a lowly physicist. ;-)
