"Real world" indeed

I am losing patience with the business half of my degree program. Now that I have shifted my career plans away from political science, the major doesn't make any sense except as a "backup plan" that will be worthless within very few years of graduation.

Today I made a B on a management exam. Studying for this exam involved (but was not limited to) going over incoherent PowerPoint files put together by the instructor. Here's an example slide:

Goals of Strategic Compensation Policies

* Linking Compensation to Organizational Objectives
* Pay for Performance Standard
* Motivating Value of Compensation

Just how does one motivate value of compensation? Or how does one pay for performance standard?

Another slide includes a helpful clip-art graphic of a woman writing something on a piece of paper. The entire text of that slide is as follows:

Administering Incentive Plans

Incentive
Motivation
Standards

That is so enlightening I could squeal.

To think of all the time I could have spent taking real courses . . . .
