A college education today can’t hold a candle to a High School education from 75 years ago.

Yes, successful conservative business folks just about all go to college, but they are far and away represent a fraction of “college educated” Americans.

College today is all about safe space, inclusiveness, and politically correct lifestyles. Granted, nearly every grad has a facebook page, and knows how to stream useless vids to the net, but real abilities that are needed in our workforce are MIA.

I stand by my statement.

That may be your view when it's lite banter on the FR, but when you need surgery you don't want some class of 1937 high school grad, you get a state of the art MD.  Same when u need a good lawyer.  Same when you check out the engineering staff at company you're buying into.
