This right here needs to be shown to the little 99%'s on Wall Street bitching about their student loan debt and the fact they can't get jobs to pay it. According to the 'academics' who taught them, higher education isn't about that.
The “student” “protestors” are also demonstrating that their “pursuit of knowledge” and “development of intellect” has been an Epic Fail.
It’s one thing to get an economically-worthless degree, yet have gained knowledge of something interesting. I know a man in the local political scene who has a Masters in Modern Irish Literature. Fascinating to hang out at the polls with on a slow primary day ... he does something in the insurance business to pay the bills.
It’s something else again to have spent $100,000 in borrowed money on a degree, but be unable to read, write, or reason at the level of my 10-year-old.
