It's not the degree that matters. The most important thing that higher education brings is the honing of critical thinking skills, and the ability to discern fact from feel-good jibber-jabber.
.
That is what higher education used to be good for. No longer. At least in liberal arts institutions.
Critical thinking, and discerning fact from fiction is not "safe" anymore. Click your fingers Dave, you know it's true.

I'm college educated in one of those "dumb" states and i will never understand the left's fetish with university. It was just a box to check and i fail to see why it gives you such a sense of superiority...

Yet when some actor or business person without a degree says something the left agrees with, the left bows to them and props them up on a pedestal.
Perhaps the point the OP was trying to make is that people that are short on education are voting for the people that they feel can best remedy their situation by providing them with what they need to better their lives.
In a thread such as this one, the OP simply reveals his/her own prejudices and bigotry.

Funny thing, people are leaving those highly educated states in droves, and guess where they're going, go on, take a guess...they're moving to those lower educated states to get away from the nonsense and high taxes of their so-called educated state! So, go pat yourself on your back if you're too educated to move!
Anyone who has spent a serious amount of time in an "island of intellect in a sea of red-neckery" (think State College, PA or Morgantown, WV) can understand this -- and sometimes it can be painful at first when you have to go back to the "real world". But coming to understand and deal with this disparity is an auto-didactic experience -- something everyone has to accomplish in his/her own way.
The OP probably could ude a little more "graduate study" in this subject.

At the end of the day, the right is for ONE Group of people. Their rich executive buddies and each hand washes the others back . If they can pick up some votes from Gun-Toting hillbillies they will. Other people far more intelligent than I have already explained the FACTS. The party is dying because they aren't many angry, rich white old timers left. Ive said it before. Trump may be the last corporate right winger this country ever sees. People are fed up with the continuous widening the wealth gap and death of the middle class and policies that only benefit the 1 percent.
Its a party of rich people desperately clinging on to keep the all the wealth. Well the pendulum swings. Whether you want to agree or not, this is the REALITY of things that won't be changed any time soon. The country should be for everyone. Not the 1 percent
The rich and the corporations are far smarter than that.
For example, they've managed to get millions of laborers to work hard for low wages, no benefits and no rights or protections and got YOU to actually defend the practice by making it a racial issue.
Only as you, and your self-appointed illuminatii define it
Just remember that those of us who toil down here amid the grit and sweat of "red" America, and the private sector supply you with most of your food, fuel. and raw materials.
STEM graduates relative to all graduating students can be an important indicator
For companies looking to hire STEM graduates, total numbers are one indicator. It is also helpful to compare total statistics with the overall size of the university system to gauge the true concentration of
STEM graduates. South Dakota had fewer STEM graduates than California, but had the highest concentration compared to total degrees conferred.
The following states had the highest concentration of STEM graduates:
South Dakota
Approximately 21.3% of all graduates in 2014 received a STEM degree in South Dakota. Engineering was the largest category of completions.
Montana
Of all graduates in Montana, 21.1% received a degree in STEM. As in South Dakota, engineering was the largest category.
Maryland
Out of the top five by concentration, Maryland had the greatest number of graduates overall at 16,614. This represents 19.6% of total conferred degrees. Most STEM degrees in Maryland were in computer science.
North Dakota
North Dakota’s STEM category was 17.9% of total graduates in 2014. The largest category was engineering.
Vermont
17.5% of graduates in Vermont completed a STEM degree. Biological sciences, and natural resources and conservation tied for the most graduates in this state.
And plenty of those people are fleeing those “highly educated” States for “lesser educated” States... After they wrecked their own State by voting and supported all the tax increases and ridiculous restrictions/regulations.
The sad thing is that these “educated” people will wreck whatever State they move to, by supporting all the BS that destroyed their previous State.
For these people who are “claiming” to be highly educated, they’re pretty freaking stupid.
