He may have gotten a 4.0, but this was mostly dumb.

1. Who are these people who hate education? I've never heard anyone say or allude to that.
2. Who are these people who want to be well-off but don't want to plan, read and study?
And let's exclude overly ignorant hood ? who we all know don't know any better on some '? ? all that reading? Your shorty can't eat no books, man!'.
In addition to the ignorant hood ? you have plenty of white folks too, including those in government.
Those who want to destroy public education for starters. I just made a thread a week or so ago about the State of Michigan feeling like they are not required to guarantee literacy to their students. States like Texas that manipulate history books.
Surely we don't think these people like education?
How many politicians have run (nationally) on the concept of destroying the Dept of Education? The people who push for charter schools (which is just a cash grab not about education quality), school closings, standardized testing measures etc.
The United States has become increasingly more anti-science, anti-intellectual and operated by retards. Hence my question.
Yeah I can tell already that you and I view this whole thing from totally different angles. I don't think those people you mentioned hate education in any shape, form or fashion. They're misguided and pushing their own agendas. But I wouldn't say that they hate education. -
You can work a job AND go to school.

You can also save money by going to community college, getting an AA, then transfering those credits to a 4 year school. Plenty of ways to reduce that huge college debt many get saddled with.

Honestly, the "yo bro, college is a scam" is probably a the conservative Heritage foundation think-tank type campaign. They don't want minorities to be educated and they believe college is "liberalizing" people. As Trump said, "I love the poorly educated!"

He's right

College ain't a silver bullet.

I'm not even sure what his point or yours is though
That's a vague statement
Compare going vs not going in regards to what? (What field, what time)
O/P point I assume was you don't have to go to be successful, he's right -
I don't think I can disagree with anything he said. I don't think everybody should drop out but it's definitely a scam, for lack of a better word.

It's to weed people out. The system can't have everyone getting a degree. That's why every major has a ? hard statistics class
The system ain't working cause that is a major problem right now. Damn near everyone got a degree so way too many degrees damn near no matter what its in ain't worth ? especially if its just a BA.
If it ain't a master's or higher they don't care.
BA is basically the equivalent of a high school diploma right now in the work force.
I know this is the cool thing to say nowadays, but it's just not true.
I don't know or care what is the cool thing to say nowadays but as far as my statement I've been saying that and having that opinion for YEARS. -
