PaleriderQuestion about college. OSU specifically, but any
#25
Yup, I found out the universities actually had quotas for American graduate students. Otherwise they would have been overrun with Chinese, even in the 1970s. We had some pretty dumb American students as a result, but they could speak English. The Chinese and Indians would could not communicate were given lab prep TA jobs.

I had students tell me they were just glad I could speak English as their last TA couldn't.

We had mostly Indians back in the day. Many of them could speak English pretty decently, but some could not. We had one kid in our group who was DUMB AS A ROCK. He claimed he was trying to get into med school by getting his PhD.

He was dumb and lazy, and he did get his PhD and got a nice job at some company and ended up as a VP I later learned. I can relate to how that happens.

I had two profs that had heavy accents. One Arabic and the other Asian. If I didn't understand clearly I would talk to him in Modern Arabic. I would talk to the Asian in Italian. She had no idea what I was saying. She even asked me to stop speaking Spanish.
DC is a symptom, not the cause. The cause is basic voter stupidity and economic ignorance.

As for Chemistry majors, respect the hell out of them too.  Had to take Gen Chem when I started out in engineering.  I had no interest and put forth very little effort.  Anyway, I knew some guys that went further in Chemistry, and from I gather it's no picnic.  What's the word I'm looking for, not Bio Chemistry, but something that basically means the same thing.  Guys would tell me those classes were rough.  

In all honesty, I always think if I had a chance to "do it all over again" I would have gone the chemistry route.  My mind just wasn't in the right place work and responsibility wise when I was young. I had no college prep for it either because I was a directionless kid in high school.

Organic chem. That's the weed out course.
That and comparative anatomy.  Organic chem turned a lot of pre med students into pre law though.
