VERY STUPID MOVE as all that will accomplish is making the next generation of conservatives unqualified for any work. Better solution is to fight and fix things rather than quit and cower. This is a bit of the overall problem, too many people prefer quitting.
Sounds about right. Bkmk for later reading.
I think Trump may have found his next VP candidate.
I studied electronics and continued to work every day while my MBA/PhD brother was sucking wind for over two years back in the Obama crash. College isn’t for everyone. We certainly don’t need people who will borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars to obtain a degree that ends in “studies”.
Agree about “higher education” , here in the US the education system has been corrupted and needs to be dismantled and reformed. Most people would do just fine without a college degree.
Unless it is Heavy STEM, being recruited for paid internships, and starting positions are 80K per year, in this economic climate a 20 year old is wasting ones time on a 4 year degree. One can jump into fortune 5000 and get further paid education as a benefit. There is zero hiring diffraction in Enterprise IT field on a Associates degree or Masters degree. All 24 year olds need about 6 years of training to become useful corporate worker bees for the 40 hours a week we need them. Once they are 30 we then can decide if they should interact with Sr. Staff in any useful way.
He’s 26.
Not a scam. Students pick their own major. My daughter majored in Art History, went into Graphic Design and I see her ads on social media.
“The small evangelical Christian school is a magnet for homeschoolers because it is known to place graduates into federal government positions successfully.”
That in itself is an indicator of the trouble our society is in.
Many degrees come with a free minor in Marxism.
Yeah, there’s nothing like graduating with a degree that will get you a low-paying job while you pay off your $100k+ student loans.
I was lucky, I got my useless degree when tuition was $200 a semester. All the things I needed to learn were learned outside of school. It all worked out very well.
There are still good universities out there which are serious. I went to one of them. They place 98% of their graduates in either professional schools, a in a job related to their major or into graduate school (primarily science, engineering, nursing, seminary or teaching). As you might guess it is a Christian school. Don’t drop out, find a good school.

You win the internet today!
I agree completely. Besides hard sciences, college is a total scam.
Unqualified for what?
True, but unfortunately a college degree is often required for jobs that should not require them. This is a result of in-house qualifications and testing being deemed discriminatory. A college degree (when it actually meant something) was then used as a substitute.
Hahahah! So what? The NBC clause is no longer valid. Why would the age clause be valid? /s
