I resent that remark. I didn’t finish college, but have raised my children, and helped start a company that was sold to a larger corporation, and kept the books of the family business. I am now retired, but might just start something new if I want. All without a college degree. I just think the dumb lazy people are the ones who go to college.
Dumb, lazy people are the ones that, without thinking, make comments like yours.
It was a line from Animal House (although slightly misquoted). It was not meant to offend anyone.
>>Fat, Dumb and Stupid is no way to go through life.<<
It’s a quote from a movie called “Animal House” where the students, stayed in College for years and years, partying and making problems. It’s not a slur against those who did not attend.
My hubby did one semester, dropped out and joined the Marines where he taught young recruits about computers. College is overrated. I spent my 20,000 to get a degree and got no where. Took a medical assisting course when I was downsized from my company and got the best job of my life!
That is an ignorant statement if I've ever heard one.
And yet, studies show that the higher the level of education, the more hours per week the person works. People with less than a high school degree work the least hours, while people with a graduate degree (especially people with an MBA, JD or MD) work the most.
Which has generally been my experience- people who motivate enough to get through a tough graduate program such as business, med or law school are much harder workers than the type of quitter who drops out of high school or can't get their act together enough to finish college.
