This thread is about Scott Walker so please don't make it about you.
Considering you supported Obama and still "believe" things like ACA and the stimulus bill as a success, your standards have very little value to me.

The problem is, Walker has no education, is not truthful, and has accomplished nothing for WI.

Perhaps a college education would have taught Walker not to plagiarize.

A nationally known eye wear company’s logo design shares more than a casual similarity with the Walker logo’s key element, a stylized American flag replacing the “E”.

Scott Walker spent 5 days revealing a logo that he stole from an eyeglass company.

I feel sorry for you, being as ignorant as you are.
You are assuming that a person who values education does not value Honesty, compassion, pragmatism, empathy, integrity, foresight...

False choice. However, Walker does not value Honesty, compassion, pragmatism, empathy, integrity, foresight...

Also the people of WI must think that Walker values those things. They elected him twice, despite the left throwing a hissy fit like a three year old girl and having a recall election.

Walker currently polls poorly in Wisconsin. The results of Walker's failed policies are taking their toll on the state.

About honesty, this is just one of many examples of Walker's lies:

Andrew Jackson never went to high school.

Would you vote for a presidential candidate in 2016 who never went to high school?

But I do wonder how that works when you are in a position of authority and everyone is looking at you with your high school education and questioning your intelligence. When other countries are chuckling at every foible and laughing because America elected a guy with nothing more than a high school diploma.

This isn't the era of George Washington. Starbucks baristas have a degree. I can imagine the running joke every time someone interviews for a federal position. The stock answer - "Hey, high school is all you need".
I would say that is a plus. My husband and I agree that most colleges with their liberal agenda are to blame for the mess the country is in today.

I will take an intelligent person with the right sense of values over an educated idiot any day of the week.
