Arnold Shwarzeneggar got a diploma through online study. Scott Walker could have done the same. I personally have a college diploma. It has traditionally been seen as a sign of applying oneself to achieve a goal. I’m not going to excuse Scott Walker on this failure. Not having a diploma is a major drawback in this race. He could at least have completed what he started instead of dropping out. My parents always told me when I started college, If you get two years in, we hope you’ll finish your degree.
So, George Washington must have been a huge failure? ;-)
Yeah, like the mechanic who works on our vehicles. He has a thriving business, and he’s a millionaire. But he doesn’t have a degree.
Next time I see him, I’ll be sure to express my sympathy for his failure in life.
I remember like it was yesterday - and believe me, it wasn’t - fussing around with preparations for the graduation ceremony, and reflecting on the fact that if I walked away at that point, and never actually got the degree, I would know precisely as much as if I had picked up the diploma. And much the same logic applies to a man who dropped out of college in his senior year, as Walker did. Add to that the fact that every school and every degree program has different requirements, and the conceit that a successful governor needs validation from some college dean becomes silly.
Ridiculous. I will take a drop out over a person with an Ivy League degree....they are the dumbest people on Earth.....We have had Harvard, Yale, Stanford and they all crewed us to what we have now. Give me a normal everyday joe like Walker and it is refreshing. I could care less if he finished his degree or not. He is the most successful Governor in 40 years.
