If everyone had a degree someone would still have to flip the burgers,
and clean the toilets.

The world needs ditch diggers too. I have no degree. I worked hard all my life, and educated myself, and now I run 6 companies. You will find some of the most successful people in life have no degree because there is usually a big difference between going to school and not.

Going to college teachs you how to follow. Trying to do something on your own, teaches you how to lead. Having a passion and drive to succeed is all you need.

And I know people with masters degrees now who can’t find work, and will settle for being a handy man or paper delivery or something.

What is amazing to me, considering I hire a bunch of people with degrees, is that their knowledge of things outside of their specialty, is in general, limited.

Economics, politics, world events, other cultures, is usually where they are lacking. Having a degree doesn’t mean you can’t still be ignorant.

True, they’re called illegal immigrants.

Hey, that describes Austin, Tx, where your server at a restaurant is finishing up their Doctorate. Yet , they are still idiot liberals.
