It sure isn’t working out for those pinheads that spent 12 years getting a Master’s Degree in “Saving da Planet”.

Bring back the draft. After service you can go to college.

And not until you serve. PERIOD.

ANY PARENT that finances their kid to go to college to pursue “their dreams” in philosophy or to “find himself” DESERVES to be DESTITUTE in retirement.

The days when a person could go to college and NOT clean out themselves and/or their parents are LONG GONE. The only question now is whether your kid gets a piece of paper that has any more value than a plumber...because, at this point, very few degrees meet that standard.

Maybe they should first learn how to make change, use a ruler, say “Please” and “Thank you”, respect their elders, have a work ethic, etc.

/old fogey mode.

You know what America? Maybe a college education isn't all it's cracked up to be...

Just stumblin' over that, are we?

The students are apparently under the impression that demanding an apology entitles them to deserving one.

In fairness to this generation, I have dealt with my share of boomers and Gen Xers that seem to believe that if you demand something, you are entitled to it.

For a better education, I suggest 4 years in the Navy and a set of Great Books.

I got my college degree the old fashioned way. I spent six years in the Marine Corps and used the GI Bill.

The education pipeline is the reason, we won’t be pulling-up Our bootstraps, anytime soon. A severe crisis, is the only correction modus, available. May Our Country Survive.

Except for some the “uber technical” fields, college is pretty much a bust as far as ensuring one can do a certain set of tasks. I learned far more on the job than in college and only went to open some doors for promotion because I already had the knowledge and skills for moving up but they required an expensive piece of paper before considering me.
