A college degree is important if you choose to do more in the work force.

The people in these interviews only say they went to college but not that they graduated.

The ones who did graduate are unable to compete in a business or employment world because they have been psyched.

All of these people are employed in jobs that have income that goes unreported. They will be paid in cash and therefore can collect benefits and still have an income. What do you want to bet they are among the "unemployed" or on other public assistance?

They also voted for Obama. Keep those benefits rolling in. Also no loan payment is required if no income is reported. mmmmmm hmmmmmmm.

I worked three part time jobs and a full time summer job to get through the university.

A guy in my high school class joined the Kirby Company as a salesman (Kirby vacuums) and made $100,000 year when I was making $30 K.

LOL!

A college degree is absolutely vital for a limited number of professional positions involving special technical knowledge and training that one is unable to easily acquire by osmosis / on the job training.ie:

Applied Sciences-which would include chemists,mathematicians, engineers, astronomists and medical doctors
Historians-which would include lawyers, archiologists, and only at the higher levels, teachers.

The rest of the people with various liberal arts or other invented degrees...are stooges who spent a lot of money in tuition to avoid accepting the reality that they wasted their time and money to salve their fragile egos about their supposed superiority over their more productive neighbors.

Everyone else paid a lot of money for

Over the years, I’ve come to realize that unless it’s in an advanced type technical field, a college degree is next to worthless, particularly for what they cost(isn’t that ironic). Anyone that says otherwise, I don’t think knows any better, or works at a college.

They are mainly of value to HR and executive types that don’t ‘exist’ in the real working world.

Actually, “plumb” jobs pay quite well.

If any of you look at the video at the link you will see that all of those people working in restaurants, bars, strip clubs have college degrees. Ironic most of these idiots voted for the Obama communist.

The way that technology has been increasing at an exponential rate we should all be millionaires or even billionaires, instead most are in as in the video working at $10 an hour jobs in bars etc, in deep debt and so on. Obama’s socialism and government regulations are killing the economy and industries when they should be expanding and creating opportunities for everyone.

The college and university system is used by the elite to cull and sort through the masses for individuals who will carry their water for them. As in Freemasonry, only those at the highest levels know the real reason for the existence of their organization.

I barely passed high school, and am stuck in a mundane occupation. I am a manager in a Fortune 500 business.

I shoveled a lot of ditches alongside folks with big degrees... and big loans which are wholly inescapable... even in bankruptcy. Try being 100k in debt and working it off as a road construction laborer... Just sayin.

The universities are extremely important to the Democrats. They provide a lot of campaign contributions to the Democrats as well as many votes. They are also instrumental in running the con about the Democrats really caring about people. The Plantation Owner Professors and Administrators at our American universities are today’s slave masters. The lucky students get off as merely sharecroppers....working most of their lives to pay the Plantation Owner Professors for useless trivia.

OK, peeps...the thing is...whether or not you have a college education is NOT IMPORTANT. Some people do. Some people don’t. The degree of success within those will depend on the WORK you are willing to put into it.

THE POINT is that there is a generation of people who have attended or graduated from a college and CHOOSE ENTITLEMENT as a life. Isn’t there something wrong with that picture?

I got a degree in ag journalism and worked for various newspapers for 10 years. Although I learned a lot about the mechanics of writing on the job, my college degree gave me more of a broad background than I would have had otherwise.

That said, I now work in a factory for more money adn better hours. Not as pretigious as news writing but it pays the bills.

I don’t know how some of these kids make it with their horrendous student loans!
