Yeah I'm not going to lie, your views on rural areas and people living in them are pretty offensive. I grew up in a town of about 300 people. I also often did have a red neck from working outside so much. However, I managed to get a full ride to my state university where I'll be graduating with a 4.0 and a degree in molecular biology and chemistry. So it looks like my "crappest" school system taught me well. My classmates are doing just fine too.
Also, even if a lot of people in rural areas are uneducated, at least they're nice. They understand the value of hard work. You should probably do your best to stay away from broad, stupid generalizations .
That whole post is laughable. Rome, GA isn't rural! I also grew up in a small town, went to public schools and have done just fine. Most of my family members are farmers or blue collar workers. It's disheartening to me to see people who understand so little about life outside of their privileged, pampered little circles.
I went to a public high school too...but it was in a nice area. One of the top 10% schools in NC. I am not privileged but I just rather live in a place where I can have easy access to things.
The mall in Rome only had like 15 stores! Its rural!!!
What I mean is that as pharmacist we would have more money than our parents so we would want to live in places with nicer schools just in case we want children.
You have a son and I am sure you would make enough money to send him to a very nice school. You would rather do that than send him to a school with less resources right? You want him to be as smart as possible right? So you must live in a nice area and send him to a nice school! that is all I mean to say. Now that we can afford to we would WANT TO do that! Of course I wasn't talking about the past...who cares about the past...we are looking at the FUTURE. In the future you as a pharmacist will make a lot more money than before...so you would want to improve your lifestyle and live in nicer areas. What happen in the past doesn't matter. I am talking future here only. My apologies if I offended anyone about their past...I only mean to talk about the future.
I think we should send SHC on a vacation to the ghettos of philly or to cabrini green in chicago. It can be a service learning experience!
EDIT: so I googled cabrini green. The last time I was there was in 94. Although I've been to chitown many times after that. Apparently the whole place has been demolished/gentrified. Guess we'll have to send SHC to chicago's south side.
I did service learning for my pharmacy school....I clean horse poo for 30 hrs P1 year and 22 hrs P3 years. Fun stuff.
I was in the Bronx before...I know ghetto!
