    I've got a .net company that hasn't gone out of business. And failure or not I will not go back to school. Freaking University of Missouri St. Louis SUCKS!!!!!!

    I can't understand 90% of the professors because of their heavy accents.

    I don't want to sound racist because I'm not but if I can't understand what the heck they're saying they shouldn't be teaching.

    School isn't for everyone.
