> To be perfectly frank on the subject, that means 75% of the population can’t be a computer or communications engineer, biotech guy or researcher.
I’ve met more than one (each) computer and biotech engineer without a college degree. BTW, last I checked being a mortgage broker did not require a college degree either. In fact, you can (and multiple people have) become a very wealthy stock broker and salesman without a college degree.
that was my point. you can be a real estate sales guy or broker without a degree. those types of industries gave a lot of folks work.
the type of job options they now have are extremely limited. 30 years ago they would be in factories. today they’re in wal-mart or some similar situation.
