Because he was poorly home-schooled and dropped out after a semester of college, he thinks no Conservatives are going to benefit from a college education? It depresses me that this is what passes for a Conservative intellectual these days. He and Boebert are mental midgets.

Take a graduate from a Home schooling family today, or a High school educated person from the 60’s, give them a piece of paper saying “DEGREE”, and aside from engineering, physician, scientist or Lawyer they could do any job better than a College graduate.

There is very little to be gained from a University degree that you cannot get faster, cheaper and better from a CC.

My grandmother taught generations of children, with a HS diploma and a teaching College that took two years as an apprentice. Two years, working alongside other teachers, then 40 years on the job,she turned out 100% literate without going to a University. I would put those young men and women against the current product coming out of schools today. What she had was called a “Teachers College” with classes at night, and teaching by day. She had a certificate of completion, but was teaching before the paper was given.

All that generation did was build the industrial world we have today, and went to the moon. I wonder why we haven’t been back? Universities, churning out miseducated idiots for at least 40 years.
