AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the academic performance required for students at two-year colleges to gain acceptance into four-year institutions. In Maryland, for instance, students with a 2.0 GPA and an Associate's degree from a community college are guaranteed admission to certain public universities. However, there are concerns about students failing at community college, suggesting they may need to reconsider their career paths, as many successful individuals thrive in jobs that do not require a degree. The conversation shifts to a broader critique of corporate culture and the morality of working in sales, with some participants arguing against the corporate system and its impact on society and the environment. The thread concludes with a participant expressing frustration over being labeled negatively for working in sales, leading to the discussion being locked.

How badly might a student have to perform at a 2 year college to not be accepted into any 4 year college anywhere? And can it be undone so that you can transfer depending on the reason why?

Depends on the state, I guess. In Maryland, some public universities state if you have a 2.0 and an AA degree from a Maryland community college, you get automatic admission.

On the other hand, if you're failing at community college, perhaps you need to reevaluate your life. Perhaps you were just meant to do jobs that don't require a degree. Plenty of people make good money doing sales and other such things with no degree.

so did your god, or your view of evolution mean for the people under the category of 'you' to work in sales?
Working in sales is evil; money is the root of all evil , i.e- it would be better to be a nomad than to work for corporate greed.
The monetary system could be replaced by technology today as it stands, i.e.- all jobs that require human labor could be done by machines and we have the technology to create the machines right this very minute.

When you get down to it, no one on Earth ever has an excuse to give into the evils of corporate greed , no human being has an excuse to help corporations become stronger than they already are. They have done enough damage to the rain forests and to the world as it is.
 
I work in sales, I don't consider myself evil, and I really resent you insulting me like that.

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
