Most of their time is spent on research? Yea... I would like to see humans make advances in this world. Do you?

If you cannot keep up with the university style of learning, you should attend community colleges where the teacher-to-student ratio is much lower. But even then, if you need a teacher to spoon feed you every single concept, you should reconsider whether advanced education is the right path for you (I mean that with no offence).

Hey man, I've completed my schooling a long time ago. And yeah, as students we pay hard money to being "taught" not so all of the money goes to research, but hey, whatever.

Anyway, I don't really care I'm just putting it out there for discussion, so don't take it so personally. I guess advanced education isn't right for me.
