“uh oh. I don’t have a college degree yet I work in Information Technology via a series of certifications. I find those twenty and thirty somethings WITH a degree sadly lacking in grey matter. What I had learned in the sixth grade way back when is what they are covering in remedial Sophomore year university.”

Could you give an example?

Example 1: I see college graduates every day at registers who can’t make change; they have to look down at the register to subtract 1.87 from a twenty dollar bill and two pennies.

Example 2: At work, a young woman with a degree in English asked an older woman to “help her with percentages because I just don’t get it!”

Example 3: Spelling is ATROCIOUS from twenty somethings and even thirty somethings

Unreal! Not sure they are learning anything OTHER than community activism.
