Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for August 29, 2023

Zipper hasn’t been out in the real world to find out.

The answer is “No f—-ing way”.

Since Walden’s so lackadaisical toward the real world, i wonder how old are its oldest students.;-D

Years ago, UC got rid of the ‘professional students’ in its ranks. They were graduates, but kept attending classes just to hang out with the youngsters, but denying a place for new students!!!

Nope, the government will bail you out. BUT you’ll have a great time

Now would be the time to bring Zonker forward to present his post-Walden credentials : bartender, postman, lieutenant governor, tanning pro, lottery winner and Viscount.

Trudeau spends so much time dumping on colleges for being too “soft” on students, but the reality he doesn’t acknowledge is that even colleges that really push students to achieve can’t help their students much anymore.

The real world has this nasty habit of rendering all attempts to prepare for it moot.

All of this was 25 years ago. I think we now have our answer.

Walden prepares you for a post-graduate life of saying “What did he mean by that?”

24 years later, life imitates art, according to an EdSurge article last week: “As Enrollment Lags, Colleges Send Acceptances to Students Who Haven’t Applied” (>

I have a feeling that all the classes will end in a similar unanswered questioning session.

Meh, who needs the real world when you can drown yourself in conspiracy theories?

So now Walden is admitting ghosts? Desperate times; deparate measures.

Looks to me like those are parents asking this questions.

My best guess is, not a chance.

Eventually Walden have will nothing but professional students and sports scholarships.
