What’s Up with This S.H.I.T?

For most students, college is important to further your education, pursue your career, and gain more experience. In contrast, for most, college is nothing but an investment. Students attend school and result in having to pay back thousands of dollars in debt for the rest of their lives. Sadly, students graduate with degrees they have no interest for nor desire for. The graduates either suffer for years in a career they hate just to make money, result in working in a completely different field they enjoy, or relapse to working jobs that pay medium wage just to survive. Florida Memorial University is a great school. However, the university could learn a lot from South Harmon Institute of Technology (SHIT) from the movie Accepted.

Passion should define a degree. When passion fails within education, college can result in creating more employees than leaders. For example, SHIT was established by a struggling student name Bartleby who failed to get accepted into any college and created what was first just a lie to impress his parents but later became a real learning institution. He had his friend setup a fake web page, including an application, tuition of $10,000, and a click away acceptance. Over thousands of students came and many were very unique students who usually wouldn’t be accepted socially or ineligible to be accepted into a big university. As a learning reference he had everybody put what they wanted to learn on a big board. It’s important you know that mostly every subject written are not offered at any of the thousands of colleges nor universities. For example, photography, carving, and telekinesis are dreams and desires that college never truly provides. This explains why Florida Memorial University could learn to create leaders than employees by offering a huger variety of subjects or programs that appeal to common dreams.
