A little jealousy there, fella?

All I have to say is look at where our politicians go for schooling, and subsequently what they do to the economy.

Jealous at people that go to college? Hardly. I could run this country better.

Besides, I wouldn’t let a girl drown inside a car that had crashed into a little river, unlike one of the Democrat’s heroes.

What is a college degree worth anyway? You think I want to suffer through attempted indoctrination? I’d end up failing because I wouldn’t tow the line. To top it all off, I have an endocrine disease which would make college a waste of money anyway, because my brain can’t absorb things that way.

It’s primary hyperparathyroid disease. A lot of people feel that if it’s something they haven’t heard of, it either doesn’t exist, or the person is making up the symptoms. Look it up, parathyroid.com. I failed most of high school because of it.

To end it, college can’t make me any more intelligent than I already am. I have Free Republic to thank for my level of intelligence and critical thinking. College would say I’m certified in something.

The only professional jealousy that I’ve personally encountered occurred a few jobs back when a fellow with multiple degrees somehow discovered that I was earning more than he was. Never mind that I was in a different position with a differnet wage scale and significantly greater responsibility. He would not rest until either my wages were cut or his were increased. He eventually succeeded in having salary and retention criteria changed to heavily favor degreed individuals. That policy amounted to a career ceiling and it cost the company a lot of good people.
