Yeah, I had that happen to me too. That sort of thing typically went
down at the end of the semester at my school. I am still missing lab
books and old homework that had been swiped. I was lucky, my stuff was
swiped after I turned it in.

But theses "students", if you can really consider them a student, are
only cheating themselves. It is a tuff market for technical folks and to
be competitive you need to have as broad a base and know the material.=20

And you have to factor in how much you have to pay for college. People
put out a nice chunk of change for school and you would think they would
want to get there money out of it, i.e. learn the material. But that's
just me.=20
