"General education" in college is something that needs to die a horrible and painful death.

Depends. I like being educated about a range of topics, and I think that having a broad knowledge base helps in all sorts of ways. That said, the education system that I was brought up in didn't really do it for me, although a lot of that had to do with me and my attitude at the time. Didn't get along with too many other kids or teachers, and I was perfectly happy letting them know that.

Out of curiosity, what education system were you enrolled in?

Regular old upper middle class, suburban public schools. 'Bout as vanilla as it gets.
