20 Completely Ridiculous College Courses Being Offered At U.S. Universities


Lady Gaga In Toronto - Why Would U.S. College Students Study This In Class? - Photo by Robbie VBy Michael Snyder: Would you like to know what America's young people are actually learning while they are away at college?  It isn't pretty.  Yes, there are some very highly technical fields where students are being taught some very important skills, but for the most part U.S. college students are learning very little that they will actually use out in the real world when they graduate.  Some of the college courses listed below are funny, others are truly bizarre, others are just plain outrageous, but all of them are a waste of money.  If we are going to continue to have a system where we insist that our young people invest several years of their lives and tens of thousands of dollars getting a "college education", they might as well be learning some useful skills in the process.  This is especially true considering how much student loan debt many of our young people are piling up.  Sadly, the truth is that right now college education in the United States is a total joke.  I know - I spent eight years in the system.  Most college courses are so easy that they could be passed by the family dog, and many of these courses "study" some of the most absurd things imaginable.
Listed below are 20 completely ridiculous college courses being offered at U.S. universities.  The description following each course title either comes directly from the official course description or from a news story about the course...

COMEX Pt I: Unveiling the gold market’s working parts + COMEX Pt II revealed: Investigating the paper gold market

Jan Skoyles: The recent gold price falls followed by record physical gold buying, concentrated in China and India, have shone a light on the paper and physical gold markets. A range of opinions exist on the workings of these markets, but where is the gold price really set?

Mine and Will Bancroft’s latest unique look at the paper and physical gold markets throws up some essential reading when it comes to understanding gold price discovery and investing in gold bullion. Key takeaways from this include:
  • Gold futures markets are worth $75 billion, with the COMEX accounting for 85% of this
  • Only 5% of COMEX open interest is backed by bullion in depositories
  • The four most popular gold-backed ETFs are worth over $59 billion
  • The gold ETF, GLD, accounts for nearly 60% of the ETF market
  • The ten largest gold refineries have annual capacity of 5,000 tonnes
  • Valcambi, the largest refinery, has capacity of 1,400 tonnes worth a potential $63bn

Greece Slides Into The "Fourth World" - The Full Photo Album

Tyler Durden's picture With Greek government bonds at multi-year highs (up 300% in the last year), the Athens Stock Index still up 100% in the last year, and leaders all over the Euro-zone proclaiming the crisis is over (and that Greece has "made big strides"); we thought it perhaps useful to look at the reality behind the propagandized talk and manipulation. The sad truth is Greece is rapidly dissolving into a 'fourth world' nation with unemployment rates (broad and youth) at unprecedented levels, poverty widespread, and homelessness rife. Perhaps, as Germany today stated that there will be no more debt reduction for Greece, it is 'math' in the first image that the TROIKA and the Greek representatives should pay special attention to...

CRASH2: Forming a pyramid on the cliff-edge

pyramidptOne sneeze, and over we go
The Slog: European bond rates are rising rapidly. Yesterday the rise spiked after Mario Draghi said the ECB was maintaining the key lending rate, and the overnight deposit rate. The ECB also cut its 2013 gross domestic product growth forecast to negative -0.6% from -0.5% as predicted in March, but boosted the 2014 outlook to 1.1% from 1%. Italian 10-year bond yields zoomed 23 basis points to 4.369%,  Spanish 10-year bond  yields rose by the same to 4.675%, and Portuguese 10-year yields climbed 24 basis points to 6.019%. Greek 10-year yields climbed 15 basis points to 9.271%.
What these reactions tell us is two things. First – as with the jittery stock movements and Bernanker QE exit hints – any sign at all that the Wily Coyote flying carpet is about to be pulled evoke dramatic pessimism. That’s because the markets know that this is just a game: they’ve known this for coming up to two years now. Any sign at all that the game-players are taking their ball home is greeted with panic. Second, Portugal above 6% and Greece back over 9% means that this is no longer a loss of faith in one Clubmed sovereign: the markets are losing faith in the eurozone. A wobble from France will be enough to destroy what’s left of the European Bond risk appetite.

Meet PRISM / US-984XN - The US Government's Internet Espionage Super Operation

Tyler Durden's picture The disclosures involving this (and the prior) administration's Big Brother surveillance state, which would make Nixon blush with envy are now coming fast and furious (one wonders - why now: even that bastion of liberalism the NY Times, has turned against Obama). Although while the Guardian's overnight news that Verizon (and most certainly AT&T as well among others) was cooperating with the NSA on spying on US citizens, so far at least the internet seemed, if only to the great unwashed masses, immune. That is no longer the case following news from the WaPo exposing PRISM, a highly classified program, which has not been disclosed publicly before. "Its establishment in 2007 and six years of exponential growth took place beneath the surface of a roiling debate over the boundaries of surveillance and privacy." What PRISM does is to allow the NSA and the FBI to tap directly "into the central servers of nine leading U.S. Internet companies, extracting audio, video, photographs, e-mails, documents and connection logs that enable analysts to track a person’s movements and contacts over time."
The secrecy is so deep we expect even the president himself may not know about it (but he does):
