Once Upon a Time in Academia

Freeberg muses upon his scholastic career.
Truthfully, I don’t know why we have career counselors in high schools. The kids who can really make something of themselves, all have the same thoughts about it: Oh alright, I’m to take career advice from some guy who’s a career counselor in a high school. Eyeball-roll. This one thought I should scrub toilets on an Air Force base somewhere. Oh, okay…thankfully, nobody took that any more seriously than I did. All these years later I have to wonder: What purpose was served by this? I still don’t know.
Never saw any use in them, myself. But on the list of inexplicable aspects of the American education system, I can’t say that it was at the top.

Guidance Counselors are valuable; they give you school passes to go visit colleges. I think I actually used one of my passes to visit a college.
