If you saw the writing skills of college graduates I work with, you would realize the worthlessness of most degrees awarded. I earned mine as a white guy; it’s the real deal.

Several years ago, I was working as an adjunct professor at a large state university in North Texas. I was teaching an advertising course.

The B school asked if I would be interested in taking on a business communications course. I asked what they would expect from the students after a semester in order to consider the course a success.

The department head told me that, if I could get half the students in the class to compose one coherent paragraph, it would be a raving success.

I.e., I know where you're coming from...

Wow.

Some of my co-workers couldn’t even do that; even worse, they have no idea that my children in their early teens are more educated than they are in their fifties.

Nobody has been honest with them since the day they were born, and it makes working with them difficult. They don’t understand why after six months on the job they aren’t offered management positions...
