I have a college degree hanging over my toilet that reminds me everyday that getting ahead in this world has NOTHING to do with acquiring knowledge in a college atmosphere.

It’s who you know and who you blow....

There are others who get ahead by getting an education, not a degree. Educate YOURSELF. You have the most interest in where you end up, not some tenured liberal professor. There are many examples of people getting ahead with an 8th grade education and many who have multiple degrees who don’t.

Its not who you know as much as it is what you do with what you know. While it is eyeopening to some that after college the world is your oyster only if you work hard, most who are self educated expect no less........

I agree, although I have never had to blow anyone. And if a college degree prevents that from happening, I will fold mine up and keep it in my wallet.
