Zachary Kelly55 said:QUOTE=Linda Hughes88;12534728]Am I foaming at the mouth? 😍 Read your own post. It reads like it was penned by some puffed-up hen with an ego bruise. There is no absolute authority here; a professor isn't Bogomdan. Please. This is the first I've heard of it. You possess a "phenomenal" critical mind. Listen, people, this is the new Nada Klaić.
It didn't occur to you, sweetie, that some people don't just memorize textbooks? That they actually care about 20th-century world history and American history, and draw conclusions based on what they've read? Apparently, your peak level of criticism is repeating three phrases even a sparrow knows and endless whining about indoctrination. You should probably learn something about 20th-century global and American history before passing judgment, though it seems you can't say a word about it.
Slow down, kid. I know more about 20th-century American and world history than you've managed to read in your life—mostly because I'm older and have a higher degree—but arguing about it here is pointless. You're acting like you're the only historian in the country, but we have plenty to spare; more students enroll every year than there are actual jobs. You think you'll be someone when you graduate? You'll realize you're a nobody. Hundreds of people like you end up wandering into the Employment office, and you'll be lucky if you even land a job at a rural schoolhouse. Most likely, you won't work in your field at all. That’s reality. I don't have an issue with anyone from that university; I know them all quite well, personally, since I actually work in the scientific community. I've taught types like you before. The student who always has something to say, always has those "brilliant" questions, sitting in the front row hoping the professor notices them so they can be taken under their wing. It's pathetic to watch, especially knowing how slim those chances really are. My advice? If you have those ambitions, drop 20th-century history. There's almost no room left in that field. Unless, of course, you have some very strong connections—and judging by your arrogance, maybe you do. In that case, enjoy yourself.☕

Sorry, girlie, but it looks like you're living in some kind of parallel universe... Where on earth did you get the idea that I'm still a student, or that I haven't graduated, or that I have a higher degree than you, or that I'm going to end up teaching at some little rural school? Seriously, thinking clearly just isn't your thing, and it makes you look ridiculous...
If anyone is acting full of themselves here, it's definitely you. All I have to do is look at your last couple of posts. The arrogance is through the roof!!! It's like communicating with someone at a dive bar. Your fragile little ego is bruised just because I didn't bow down to your "unbeatable" arguments, so now you're starting to spit venom. And if you "work in science" (maybe as a janitor at NASA), then God help the scientific community!
As for me, thanks for the concern, but you don't need to worry. I'm doing just fine with what I do, and it has nothing to do with teaching at a school or my history studies.
