I never said it was bad to get a college degree, you said it. What I am saying is that unless a kid has enough ambition to overcome an inadequate public education they will end up like little socialist democrats who laugh at words like patriotism and lack the historic perspective to appreciate how the U.S. became the greatest Country in the world.

What you are saying is the people who got degrees and can't find good jobs with a degree are flawed. Not the degrees themselves. But I get what you are saying. If you aren't super motivated and you get a history degree, what are you going to do with it? But I'll tell you, that degree opens doors. It just might be a boring job that pays $30,000 more than someone who doesn't have a degree because the company says MUST HAVE DEGREE. Why? Because the owner or president went to college.

It just checks off the box. Do you have a college degree. YES. Great. Now you have to do good on the interview.

I know a guy who got financial aid. Pissed the money away. Got a 2 year associates degree, no one's going to hire that guy. I hope President Ashley Biden doesn't forgive his loan one day. POS.

If you are a Republican, you have to admit. If you have a college degree in America, there is NO EXCUSE for why you are a failure today. Only blame yourself. In America? Even people without degrees make it in America. You got a college degree and you're telling me you can't make it?

I seem to recall the last time Republicans made this bad argument against college, it was during the Bush years when there were no jobs. Not for anyone. College degree or not. Back then for every 1 job there were 20 people applying. Today we have a surplus of jobs.

Here is another reason there is no excuse today to say you aren't doing as well now as you were 4 years ago

An unprecedented number of U.S. workers quit their jobs in 2021 and 2022, the first full two years of the COVID-19 pandemic — a phenomenon dubbed the Great Resignation.

If you didn't get a promotion or raise, you're making exactly what you should be making.

actually DGS49 trump0 should put her as his national security advisor wirh those revolutionary war airports and electric shark defense plan.

You ever read a teleprompter of a speech you didn't write, and someone puts airport instead or rampart. or you misread it because you are going so fast? No? I didn't think you had.

A public education involves putting a condom on a banana and a guilt trip for racism but not much else.

When and where did you receive this education?

Nobody said the people are flawed. The system is flawed for guaranteeing jobs to people who have nothing but a piece of paper in their hands.

Stopping at a Wendy's on Interstate 80 the other day, and wanting to pay cash for my "meal," I went up to the counter and was waited on by an Assistant Manager (according to her name-tag). She appeared to be mid-30's. My total came out to $17.78, and just making conversation, I asked, "I wonder what was going on in 1778...the Revolutionary War, perhaps?"

The Assistant Manager looked at me with a puzzled look on her face, and asked, "What's the difference between the Revolutionary War and the 'Hitler thing'?"

I have to admit, I didn't really know how to answer..."A couple hundred years, maybe?"

"I get those numbers all confused," she responded. Then she regaled me with her educational history, starting with dropping out of HS as a Freshman, getting her GED, then getting an Associate's Degree in Sociology. Not History, certainly.

Harris voter. Definitely.

Trump needs stupid people otherwise he wouldnt get any votes.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
