Advice for Young People (Education Still Sucks)
Submitted by johnk on Wed, 05/21/2008 - 14:26.(I was listening to Grammar Girl, and the topic was "graduated from college". Lo and behold...)
This is an English major who can't write two sentences without twice as many errors: http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/127475
"I recently graduated college with a degree in English and am at a major crossroad in my life. I can either go to Japan and teach English for a year or go back to school for my teaching credential/master's degree. What should I do?"
Did he really get a degree in English? I got mine in Ethnic Studies, which is allegedly not a good degree. Here's the corrected version:
"I recently graduated from college with a degree in English, and am at a major crossroads in my life. I can either go to Japan and teach English for a year, or go back to school for my teaching credential or master's degree. What should I do?"
