Many people would be much better off financially learning a good trade or "getting on" with some municipal department, as we used to say in my old blue-collar city neighborhood.
No disagreement. Trade schools and the trades in general are way underrated, and often provide a much better earning potential than many types of Bachelors. The trades are also a great path to self-employment if one is so inclined.
I guess you ignored the fact that many educated people are low information voters who lack common sense. Sorry that you were blindsided by this revelation.
I would appreciate a source or citation for your assertion above.
Since you look down on less educated people, that makes you a snob.
Tell us all --- how many degrees do you have?
Really? Would you go to a doctor without a degree? Would you hire a plumber who had no education or training? Wanting better for people and our country is not being a snob, it is wanting better for our people and our country.
BTW, I have four degrees. Two undergrad and two post grad. I am a practicing professional and my services are such that you would want me highly educated.

Pot meet kettle. Just look at what is happening in democrat strongholds lately. You must have been sleeping while all the rioting/looting/vandalizing was going on. You also didn't notice that the dems running those places have allowed those lowlifes to keep rioting/looting/vandalizing even if it put their local PD at risk.
From reading your posts, it's obvious that you don't fully research new stories. You stick to your left leaning media and take it as gospel.
I've talked with people with advanced degrees and that's how they, like you, get their news. When they bring up a news story that they saw from their favorite left leaning media source, I will point out things that were left out of the story. It never fails---they are very surprised when they hear the whole story.
Too many educated liberals aren't even aware that today's democrats aren't their grandfather's (or their father's) democrats. They are oblivious as to how far to the left the dems have moved. So, like automatons they vote for anybody or anything with a "D" next to their name. That's a shame. If they weren't so willfully ignorant, they just might find that the RINO on the ballot is more in line with their beliefs than the Blue Dog democrat.

Those are ridiculous questions. You just wasted your time asking them.
At least it's good to see that you include plumbers among those you think are educated, because they, indeed, are educated.. That's a good start
You're implying that those who aren't highly educated don't want what's best for our country. You must be aware that not all liberals are highly educated. Many of them are uneducated and on welfare. In fact, 1/3 of those on welfare in this country live in CA. CA is one of those blue states you are crowing about.
It looks like demand for U-Hauls is the through the roof in L.A. and San Francisco. In Arizona and Texas cities, not so much. How could this be? Doesn't California place higher on the most educated states list than those states?
