I find it interesting that that so many so called "journalists", who have worthless degrees,

Are so quick to believe that the only hope people have of making a good living is to HAVE a Bachelor's degree.

O.K. Let's play that game. Let's see. Go get a bachelors degree in physical fitness or one of literally hundreds upon hundreds. Wow, that will make you prepared for the job market...

What about things like people who enjoy working on cars, starting your own garage, body shop, upholstering, wood working, Plumbing, electrical work, hvac, landscaping, roofing, building things like houses or apartment buildings, carpentry, concrete work or masonry?/

There are literally LOTS of things people can make a good living at without a freaking bachelor's degree and NOT incur that enormous debt.

I have merely mentioned a few obvious things not including the music world, the acting world, the truck or transportation world....

I suppose in the views of these worthless snobs who look down their tiny little beaked noses at ANYBODY who does not possess a useless, overly expensive and totally useless degree, somehow, there just are not going to be anything left for someone to do to be able to earn a good living.

Me???? I am so thankful for the mechanics, the plumbers and tile layers, the brick masons, the carpenters and electricians. They do things with their own knowledge that is equivalent in my opinion of most useless degrees. ANd these folks keep the rest of us moving when our worlds come to stop due to repairs needed and many have NO CLUE how to fix them correctly....\

So, I disagree with the author of this article about degrees being a necessity and requirement. For SOME things, yes. For MOST things, no.......

For the majority of members on this board, you will know this to be true.
The education you got what you went to school, through senior high, were very good.

The poor kids of today come out not having been taught much vocabulary, how to actually WRITE, only print, the math is awful, NO CIVICS or government, etc, etc.....

Then the colleges wind up teaching the basics as part of this "degree" program......
I have personally interviewed and tried to work with some of the worst, illiterate and unknowledgeable degreed people the United States can produce and sadly to say, every single one of them was 25 years my junior.....

I just had to comment on this ever increasing falsehood that is being pushed that somehow a college is a necessity to make a good living.

Horse puckey....
