Very much agree. And even sadder is the fact that most have had their parents spend good, hard earned money to send them off to college to better themselves, yet they end up brainwashed by a far left liberal agenda.
When I was 16 years old and everyone was telling me I had to go to college and take out loans to do it, I told them it seemed like a scam. Well almost 20 years later who has the last laugh, debt free almost except or my mortgage and I have had quite a few years I've made decent money and I think this year will be the best one yet.
Again I agree. I have no degree myself. I don't think the vast majority of folks really need one. I get more satisfaction outta knowing that I had a long, successful career and I did it all myself through hard work. I started in the AF after realizing that factory jobs just didn't cut it for me, and ended up as an aerospace engineer type guy with a major military contractor. Along the way I taught myself what I needed to know and more. I'm likely better educated than the majority who hold those degrees up as some kind of proof that they're smart, but are literally clueless - LOL. No, I'll never be rich, but I never wanted to be. Yet I was always comfortable, sometimes more than others, of course.
Funny, I was on the 11 year plan for college. Did a bunch of community college (5 different ones) before marrying, getting a mortgage, and having a child. Then decided I needed to finish school. Everyone I knew, including my husband, all his colleagues, and most of my friends, had a college education. I felt like I was missing out on something. Felt like there was this big secret club I was not a part of, that there was going to be this big epiphany once I graduated. Well, let me tell you, it was the most anticlimactic event of my life hahahahaha. Big waste of time, effort, and money. Everything I ever needed for a job, I learned on the job. Not to mention that most of my profs detested me as, at 30 years old at the time, I was not shy about calling them out on their bullshit. College then (20+ years ago) was bad with their liberal brain washing. It’s only gotten progressively worse. Sent 2 kids to college after that. Both graduated. Both are in jobs that require zero college.
