I’d love a GED-equivalent exam. A lot of companies won’t hire a workers without a college degree. A lot of 18-year-olds could pass a test proving that they already have the equivalent of a 4-year degree. Save yourself 4 years. Save yourself $100,000 in debt. Just go to work and skip over the Liberal brainwashing. Who needs it?

I recognize that there are professions that require real education. That’s a separate issue. But most college students aren’t doing STEM work.

“...skip over the liberal brainwashing...”

Ministries of Propaganda brought to you by the Democrat Party.

IMHO

It’s not a place for higher education anymore.

It is a place where liberal get young kids who are away from home for the first time, and then brainwash these kids.

Correct!

Not every one on earth NEEDS a college degree...not all employment REQUIRES it.

If Grade Schools and High Schools actually TAUGHT and educated young people, kids could walk out of there with skills and the ability to succeed. They would be TEACHABLE in any job training, in months.

Instead, public schools in the US are glorified baby sitting institutions. They sit on these kids and coddle them unmercifully. Once they leave or ‘graduate’ they are fit for absolutely NOTHING.

DAILY, I talk to university (many graduate level) students who CANNOT make a proper sentence with a subject and predicate. Many CANNOT make themselves understood either verbally or in writing. Also-they are totally irresponsible and immature.

They are all in for a real cold shower when they ‘graduate’

Most college work amounts to little more than directed reading of overpriced tomes written by tenured professors. Add in a term paper and you are good to go. The learned professions are of course an exception.
