Correlation is not causation. About half of self-made billionaires do not have college degrees.

The college/resort industry is in the end stage of a government funded bubble, and they are starting to get shrill.

...

Yep. And Georgetown doing this study is a conflict of interest.

#14 Those with college degrees will need to ask the high school diploma ones with decades of experience how to get things done. The really smart ones will learn from those that have experience.

Exactly. But guess who gets the big bucks and the perks? Heretofore, anyway. It's all changing now, because you can get a college level education for nothing now.

The Iowa legislature was a funny place at times...

One farmer-legislator, upset that the state transportation department planned to build a road from southwest to northeast Iowa, introduced a bill to ban “diagonal highways.”

Mailboxes for members of the House were stacked in a wood and glass door “post office” just outside the House of Representatives. Anyone walking past could see if his or her rep had received mail.
One legislator from Des Moines had the little box completely stuffed with letters; he never bothered to read messages from his constituents. When one reporter noticed this, it hit page 1 with pictures the next day...

If you want to be a professional pilot, let’s say a fighter or bomber pilot, you’re gonna need that degree.

“their K&E slipsticks”

I had one of those! Still have it.

Then there were the Frieden and Marchant calculators.

I think if a youngster saw a Frieden do a square root they’d fall out of their chair.
