To: a fool in paradise

You’d be hard pressed to find one professional writer who graduated from college. The teachers are all failed writers and have nothing to offer aspiring writers. This is why there are so many writer’s workshops run by successful writers. That’s only one example of how overrated college educations are.

There are so many grads now that companies demand a 4 year degree for jobs that a High School diploma was fine for just a few years ago. Where my wife works they want a Computer Science degree for entry level technician jobs @ $30K per year.

College is good for some jobs but the majority of programs are garbage. Behavioral “Science”, Economics, Political “Science”, Environmental “Science”... all crap. Liberal Arts majors graduate by the millions and hardly a handful can choreograph a dance, write a play, paint a picture or compose music. They can however recite the names of works of art and the year they were created. And they also all learned the most important thing: Colleges need more funding. It’s vital to know when Van Gogh painted his self-portrait when you cook fries.

Nevada was rightly chosen as a nuclear test site.

Except for time lapse photography there was way to tell the difference before and after the blast.
