Let's just shut all the colleges/universities down, just to be sure that no more brainwashing will occur. Hell, my grandparents didn't go to college; my parents didn't go to college and my sister and I didn't go to college and we made it through life. People can just finish high school and get a job; maybe serve an apprenticeship. Would that make the anti-college people happy? MAGA?
The interesting thing about liberal arts degrees is that you (for the most part) can take whatever you wish. That might be a course in art history. Or nuclear physics. Do well and you can go to one of the best law schools. Or to medical school and become a doctor. Or do mathematical research. Or teach. Or whatever.
Many people do not finally work in what they major in at the universities. Your interests could (and likely will) be entirely different at age 40 or 50 than when you were 20.
One just never knows how the future might turn out.
It's so funny reading threads like this which reminds me why many of us have lost total faith in American humanity.
These threads never go well and ultimately turn into a HS vs college pissing contest between the "my diploma is better than your degree" crowd and the educated elites. And then you have a colony of right wing pests who believe that you can get "educated" by simply skipping college and just learning everything off of the internet. Yeah, because the conservatives around here who unknowingly throw around fake Thomas Jefferson quotes surely know what they're talking about. And then the most overused and tired cliche of "you're just gonna work at Starbucks" gets tossed around, too. Because its hard for people to understand that its college students (not grads) working at these places because retail jobs requires nights/weekends availability which, just happens, is the easiest to revolve around one's class schedule. Now, this gets thrown around by people who probably never worked while in college, or attended college, but I'll let you take your pick!
Maybe I should start a thread called "Should conservatives get degrees in the liberal arts?" and see where it leads. In fact, I probably will. Because remember, anyone who majors in the L.A. is a worthless piece of scum UNLESS they're one of us....
What? Where on earth did you get that from? I have neither explicitly said or vaguely implied that. EVER.
Oh come on, after Trump won leftist were out in mobs making fun of people who didn't go to college and voted for Trump... calling them uneducated, stupid, illiterates and of course deplorable racist. But not a peep from you until someone voiced an opinion on the education and YOUR RIGHTS.
Ok so to break it down. Does the ROI has to make sense? One gets a job and works his way up, (or starts a business). The other get themselves thousands of dollars ($50k, $70k etc) in debt to go to college and can't find a job or works at Starbucks. Who do you think is better off?
Maybe we should have a conversation about those greedy educators. But the media doesn't want you to look at that and you comply, think how you're told to think and ignore what you're told to ignore. The entire thing is actually a damn shame. Kids shouldn't have to sell their soul to get an education.
Ok so to break it down. Does the ROI has to make sense? One gets a job (or starts a business) right out of HS. The other gets themselves thousands of dollars ($50k, $70k etc) in debt to go to college and can't find a job or works at Starbucks. Who do you think is better off?
Probably the person who went to college and then got a job, but you left that part out.

That is a bunch of complete nonsense. You have no idea about my position on such matters. I have never ridiculed people without degrees. My own family is a combination of those who have gone on to higher education and those who have not. I would not denigrate them or anyone else without a degree. EVER.

There was a lot of denigration coming from the left after the election when you were banging your head trying to figure out how Hillary lost.
