What is stopping you, me and anyone else reading this getting multiple degrees per year? Article related depicts several seperate stories of people getting 4 year degrees in under three months while having them be depicted as fully legitimate as any other degree.

Is this a remotely common occurrence, or only seriously doable by people who are both extremely smart and hardworking? Do any of you have experience with 'speedrunning' degrees? I did a 4 year degree in 3 and a half thinking that was good going, but I look like a goddamn amateur compared to these people.

If you look at conventional degrees in the humanities, there is a huge margin of inefficiency and waste in the curriculum. Some of this is covered by forcing the students to slave and slave, but really the cost of education has become so advanced while the expectation of a degree has become so persistent that the obvious effect is a societal cost.

Even in STEM there is. Why would I, an aspiring stemlord, need to spend two full fucking semesters analyzing poetry? 
Walt Whitman again? Seriously? The guy sucks, all that shit was stupid, and they've been shoving Walt fucking Whitman in front of me once a year like he matters to anyone outside an English department since I was in 7th grade.
Shakespeare? Again? Fuck me running. 
We need to get apprenticeship programs back so men can learn from men about shit that matters, and get them the hell away from these childless cat ladies and all their fruity nonsense. Even (especially) when it comes to things like the sciences.
