I’ve met a number of college educated people that have virtually no common sense. It’s truly astounding.

I’ve also met a number of older generation college graduates that are some of the best people I’ve ever come in contact with.

Must be a generational thing or a commentary on the state of higher education in general these days.

We (Older generation) went to college to gain knowledge and learn how to think. Now, college is a place you go to be programed to hate America by people who hate America.

I believe it is a state of corruption in higher education. Although the vast majority of colleges are "non-profit", everyone has a bottom line. That means getting as many kids into four year school as possible. It means stacking classes and requirement that shoe horn kid into completing school in 4.5 to 5 years. It means charging fees for "technology" access. It mean required book activation codes to force students to buy books for hundreds of dollars rather than for pennies on the Internet.

It means creating worthless degrees programs with little or zero job prospect. It means grade inflation in worthless degree programs so students stick it out 5 years to graduate. And finally it takes a bloated trillion dollar federal loan program to finance this scheme to keep over paid professors and administrative bureaucrats fat and happy.

Back then it was Math, Science, History, English, Literature and Pre-Med, Pre-Law.

Today it’s Womyn’s studies, Black studies, American Revisionism and Barista Management.

And we wonder why the younger generation of LIV are idiots.

He should finish up his missing 34 credits by attending online classes at Hillsdale College and then advertise the fact over and over to the media.
