It is through personal research and interactions with peers and classmates in the DECA program that I have concluded that DECA is an abysmally pathetic waste of time used to raise the ego of mediocre level students and to steal all of parents' money for unending competitions. Dozens of students from my school attend DECA competitions and it seems that every weekend two thirds of them win a medal for something. How many first places can there be? There is a ridiculous amount of competitions that allow for most students to make to regional and national competitions on nothing but three brain cells and a fart. They all flaunt imaginary and ridiculous products and make entire sales pitches for them without a whim of engineering knowledge to be able to hammer a damn nail, for half of them they risk their lives trying to make toast. If kids with a 2.3 GPA who spend their free time juuling in some dudes pickup can win DECA internationals is it really an intense competition? Considering how far off DECA is from real life interaction and a business environment, and how ridiculously simple the tasks are, I am starting a movement to make DECA and marketing programs the educational and societal equivalent of an art class.
