College is not about knowledge, it is about getting your ticket. Pay your dues, play the game, and you get a ticket to the middle class. But the game is ending. There are to many degreed idiots out there. Sounds like you have no idea what you are talking about. College gave me skills I have been using all my life to advance my career, my life and provide you with electricity.

Well put. I’d love to see one of these folks that think college is a joke try Physical Chemistry, Differential Equations, Solid State Physics, and Fluid Mechanics. The ‘problem sets from hell’ in any of these classes would turn them into quivering lumps.

Engineering, hard sciences, and even law need a structured environment to learn. But those don't even count for 10% of college grads.
