Our culture has morphed from respecting scholars to giving undue credit to college grads. Most graduates in the Humanities are ignorant and can barely write a proper English sentence.
My husband and I were typical snobs about education and when one of our daughters married an auto mechanic we groaned inwardly. But he turned out to be a great blessing to our family. Honest and hardworking. Do you know how hard it is to find someone for an honest repair job? And he never charges us. We love him to death.
He's an educator, leading other educators, teaching todays kids.
I might be just a "dumb construction worker", but what passes for education today, is an embarrassment.
