why not...

 

[Mike_Yates]

Someone with an IQ of 70-80 would struggle just to graduate high school, let alone earn any kind of academic degree.

I have an IQ of approximately 89 according to tests that were given to me in high school, so even earning an associates degree from a community college could prove to be impossible.

Any fucking idiot can get an MBA. In fact, being a total moron seems to be a prerequisite for enrolment.

I actually do no disagree with this.

Add a CFA with a actuarial designation and you will stand out however...

 

[Colonel Hogan]

How about an online degree from Arizona State or UMass, Mike?

They're all right here and available from the comfort of your basement apartment. http://www.thebestcolleges.org/top-online-schools/

You may have to get your dog to help you with the enrollment forms and some of the tougher classroom assignments, but think of the pride when you post your very own Literotica Graduation Thread.

Hell, I'll bet you could even get some hot chicks down in that passion pit if you told them they were going to a "frat mixer"! Imagine her surprise when it turns out to be just you, her, and all your Jeffrey Dahmer paraphernalia.

Mike Yates has been going on about this since he joined. If he had started college right away, he'd have his degree by now.

Stop bitching about your goddamn IQ already.

Jesus Christ.

Wrong, an MBA requires Linear Algebra and Stochastic Calculus courses for business finance. This level of mathematics is NOT for the feeble minded.

And if you wish to rise to the very top positions of a company (CEO or executive) you must have an MBA from one of the top 10 business schools in the world, as well as a slew of other outstanding credentials.

Wah wah wah

"I have a tiny IQ, so that gives me the right to bitch about all the things I limit myself from doing, and will work menial labour jobs my whole life, never getting to be a rich suit type, cos I'm just too dumb to quit bitching and start studying"

Ya know, dope is legal in some states now.

Grow good shit and you'll make money and not have to get your lazy arse to school.

 

[Colonel Hogan]

Oh, one more thing on getting the babes down in the Yates Cave....

If she starts to freak on the Dahmer posters, just smile and assure her that "dining in doesn't have to be unpleasant."

Tell her if she promises to "swallow and not bite," you'll "hum the school fight song on her juice harp."

And if she really plays her cards right, maybe both verses of the alma mater.

Someone with an IQ below 100 will most likely NOT succeed in college because they do not possess the cognitive abilities.

All of the women who have made sexual advances towards me I have shunned because not only was I not physically attracted to them, but I am in no position to be in a relationship. Also, I do not possess the required social skills beyond a simple conversation with a member of the opposite sex. No touching, and especially no kissing.

Oh my god, get away from me!

Most people with an IQ below 100 could not use the words "cognitive abilities" correctly within a sentence, so you've at least got that going for you.

 

[Mike_Yates]

The moment I can decipher these equations and calculate them, then I can go to college. So far I can't, and I've even taken online tutorials.

It's funny cos it's true.

These days anyone with an IQ of 60-70 can get into any college and earn a degree.

There is an incredible study aid that can turn lazy or less gifted people into well read geniuses (at least on paper)

Ready? Pick your subject

Go to google

Copy and paste it into your paper.

Hand it in to the teacher who is sleeping at their desk while the online "interactive" course teaches their students and there you go!

 

[Mike_Yates]

Obviously I'm not going to Harvard university.

 

[Aphro]

No. They would not.

"Average" IQ is 100. The very top of the bell curve. An IQ of 70 is two full standard deviations below average. That's pretty low. I think at that level you're lucky to be able to make change for the bus.

The IQ of a university undergraduate is ~115 and 125 for graduate students. And 125/150 for those going to elite universities.

Try community college first.

 

[Mike_Yates]

All of the wealthiest and most powerful people in the world attended elite universities such as Harvard and Yale, for example.

They are wise to that. Not so successful anymore.

Get comfortable with a mop in your hand.

FWIW - Don't get a law degree from anywhere unless you go on a full ride. RUN from that idea. Most schools don't post 50% employment statistics, you are better off doing menial labor than giving yourself 250k of debt.

This could apply to a lot of graduate programs.
