I’m sick of dimwits claiming that you need a college education to succeed, and consequently having taxpayers foot the entire bill for every ivory tower quack’s $100,000+ salary. If you have a decent IQ, you should be able to find a way to make lots of money with nothing more than a high school diploma.
You’re certainly not going to find a way to make a liberal arts degree useful, and even in the hard sciences (the one area where a degree is arguably worthwhile) you’ll be forced to make the evidence conform to the Big Government agenda. There are plenty of resources available to teach yourself a trade and how to open your own business available without paying some ivory tower stooge your life savings.
The hilarity is when colleges promote living on campus to promote “independence”, doubling the cost of attendance.
The kids live at home in their mid-20s to help pay off living on campus at 18-22.
