Your post got me to checking my own circle of politically active friends...of all my pals that I consistantly exchange emails, all but about 5 are college grads, mostly with science degrees...about half have advanced degrees, are currently employed in their professions and all but a couple completely despise Obama and everything he stands for.
The higher education level is well reflected in Tea Party activists as well. The left wishes we were all a bunch of uneducated hicks.
Exactly...I only have a HS diploma. But, I received Advanced Personal Training Certification from National Academy of Sports Medicine. After spending about 12 years bodybuilding, studying nutrition and how the body, muscles, tendons function. The Academy recommended that you have a 2-4 year college degree in the medical field before taking the test. If you didn't have that, they recommended going to your local college and enrolling in a biology class. I study completely on my own, with a little help from my hubby. I passed the test and went on to be a personal trainer. You can learn anything you want to on your own, if you are willing to read, study and do.
And my hubby got most of his college education through the military. He started out at as an E2 in the Navy and retired Lt. Commander 22 years later.
