Career Opportunities...(?!)

The education system in the United States of America certainly does NOT hold the exclusive license on lunacy... but were it an Olympic sport, they would be the odds-on favourite to take gold year-in and year-out. The Huffington Post recently put together a list of the ten most ridiculous college courses you can actually take at schools around the U-S. Check it out:

--At Santa Clara University, you can take a class called The Joy of Garbage, where you explore "the technical aspects of decomposition and waste processes."

--At Cornell University, you can take a class called Tree Climbing.

--At Georgetown University, you can take a class called Philosophy and "Star Trek".

--At UCLA, you can take a class called Queer Musicology, which explores pressing issues like "the possibility that being gay makes music by gay composers sound different to you than it would if you were straight."

--At Pitzer College in California, you can take a class called Learning from YouTube, which . . . shocker . . . consists of "students watching, discussing, and commenting on YouTube videos."

--At Stanford University, you can take a class called iPhone Application Programming. (--Actually, if you FOOLISHLY went to college to get a decent job afterwards, this class might not be such a lame idea.)

--At Alfred University in New York, you can take a class called Maple Syrup; The Real Thing.

--At Frostburg State University in Maryland, you can take a class called The Science of "Harry Potter".

--At Centre College in Kentucky, you can take a class called The Art of Walking.

--And at Reed College in Oregon, you can take a class called Underwater Basket Weaving... no... really...

Pick your major...OR you can just come right out and SAY "I'm just going to college for the wild frat parties..."
