Well its not that because I heard him try and explain the robinhood situation in a clip and he failed miserably at that. Maybe his business degree was in being a bank teller or something

Business degrees back then were a scam. Management courses which are all soft skills bs you float through, a single finance course and budgeting course. Business degrees are a half step above when you attend college but don't have a major yet so you take generic courses. They collect money and you collect meaningless arrays of basics that add up to nothing. What's funnier is he started out in comp sci and effectively flunked out, so turning a post comp sci credit load into business probably let him graduate sooner and easier.

You can fast forward to this year and watch his Flight Simulator streams and I would argue that in those streams he demonstrates even more just how dumb, sheltered and pig ignorant he is. Never forget "What is a grand canyon?" Motherfucker was surprised at the existence of the Grand Canyon, which is not only the most well known and cherished natural landmarks in his own country, but the entire world. Stuff like that is just depressing.
I heard that regarding natto, he said that natto isn't a traditional Japanese dish, instead it's "soy food." Did he really say that? Does he think that soy is an ethnic group or nationality?
I'm always reminded of what one of my professors in my freshman year of uni said "You needn't necessarily be intelligent to get a degree, in that case you just need to be persistent."

Oh I am aware of how shitty business degrees are, I am just thinking at some point Phil would have slipped up and talked about all the management classes or something that he took to pad his degree. I know how useless business degrees are, they are basically a step up from communication degrees (aka useless).
I didn't know he started out in computer science though. Him using those credits probably got all the minor degree requirements and other non business degree requirements done. I swear though, everything he said has been wrong with business so I just want to know what the classes were so I can laugh harder
Phil being persistent? It wasn't like he was begging for money in the class, he actually had to put forth effort into it so I would expect a rage/wage quit

In school you learn the seven wonders of the world so how would he not know the grand canyon?

it wouldn't be all that depressing if Unviersities were still about educating future scientists instead of glorified apprenticeship schools, preparing worker drones. You don't need a university to learn how to code, it's like asking carpenters to go to uni. Coding is not much different, it's a craft.

Well he went to uni before the existence of stream chat so I imagine it went like his early playthroughs where if he hit a wall he just kept banging his head against it until the game just let him win. Or in this case, until he was lucky enough to get enough exam questions that he could correctly answer.

Did he even take any AP tests to place out of college credits? Just taking AP classes but not turning them into credits is the same as having a Youtube channel for 13 years but getting less than 1000 views per vid.

I said that in the Philisms thread today with the caveat that my Latin is rusty but nowhere on the diploma does it say which specific degree he got, only that he has achieved a Bachelor's degree while attending the Charles J. Dolan school of business at Fairfield University.

Funny you should mention that, CS was Phil's first major but he switched to finance after a couple semesters because the classes were too hard. More specifically in his telling it's not because he was stupid, it's because the Indian (of course he brought up the guy's race) professor had no idea how to teach. From Phil's description the class that made him flunk out was either algorithms or discrete math which are typically first-semester sophomore classes.
Based on their admissions criteria it is a shit school overall, if he were half as smart as he claims he'd have been accepted to places like Boston University or the University of Rochester.
I can't prove it but I suspect he went there because he was too afraid to move away from Mommy and Daddy - the school is only 15 minutes away from them, they could stop by and visit (or he could go to them) on the nights and weekends. Remember we are talking about somebody who lived with his parents by choice until the age of twenty-seven.
Picking a private school also fits with his "pricier = better" mindset; there is a public university near him called the University of Bridgeport and a reasonably good public university in Northeast Connecticut called the University of Connecticut. They would probably have both admitted him, given him a better education and charged less than a third of what Fairfield did, but his ego could not handle the "public university" stigma.
For non-Americans public universities are not where people who are too stupid for private school go, some of them like the University of Michigan and University of Virginia are among the best in the country. The two consistent differences differences are that have larger student populations and lower tuition rates.

How do you bumble your way through life and not know the Grand Canyon? Even if you're a retard consoomer, so many shows and movies feature the Grand Canyon. It's a pop culture fixture and it's honestly unbelievable he didn't know about it.
To be fair, most CS 101 profs can't teach for beans. They are so bored of basic for loops and functions they don't give a single shit. They only teach because they have to. Buuuut you can find all the resources you'd ever need online. Even back before the current internet there were great online programming resources.

Great now I need to drink the same amount of gin Phil does to get over this
Matoor adult dood
Ok so I went back a bit and listened to this and a few thoughts of how this has come. First, he graduated in 2004 in Ct with a degree in Finance. Economy was massively expanding especially in the finance industry, getting a job should have been very easy so Phil is an idiot. Second he talks about jobs requiring prior experience to get into entry levels which is stupid. Especially when there was an expanding economy in that sector, jobs will hire you if you just apply or at the bare minimum give you an interview. The prior experience is their wishlist but they will take what they can get. Third, he talks about internships being unpaid which sounds like he didn't actually look for an internship. It sounds like he just heard what the complaint was of marketing, communication majors, and other pointless majors like journalism about internships being unpaid and assumed it was the same not knowing that most internships for degrees like finance, accounting, analytics, engineering, etc actually pay their interns to do the work because their work is needed. Fourth, he talks about spending all this time at school and working. Uhh Phil, if that was true, then jobs would have seen really good grades and work experience to go with that and have at least interviewed you for positions. So I am guessing he spent a lot less time than he is proclaiming he spent at both of those and spent wayyyy more time at streetfighter events. Fifth, he complains about the system being about the rich. No Phil, you spent more time playing street fighter than studying during school and didn't get a job planted in your lap. Sixth, his Wells Fargo story. That financial part of the firm was a pretty common practice back then and is probably now, he is just terrible at explaining it. People consolidate debt all the time with banks. The bank will give you the single payment, at a higher rate due to your bad credit, and put it against an asset so they become a secured creditor. The firm probably went out of business due to losses of the firm with foreclosing all the houses due to the drop in home values. Those people who "went back to square one" are the ones who decided to walk away from the mortgage because it isn't worth the loan amount. Its not predatory lending like he says it was.Use AdBlock:

Which brings me to the conclusion that he didn't pay attention in school, didn't use any school resources to look into internships to see which one he could actually do (since they were paid internships), cared more about streetfighter tournaments than his grades, graduated and just expected a job to fall into his lap which never happened, pretended others had jobs fall into their laps because they had "connections" (which you can do so fucking easily Phil, just show up to a job fair and start talking to people. Talk to someone and have a good conversation. Then get their business card and send them a thank you email so they remember who you fucking are and boom you just made a connection to a firm.), and then when, presumably daddy, got him a job at Wells Fargo (a fairly large bank that you could move up in the finance industry coming from a small college), you didn't understand anything about the business or bothered to learn and left after a year. Your advice to this guy was terrible and I hope it was a troll tipping him and not a serious student asking for advice. Because the only one wasting that piece of paper is Phil
