I was an A$$hat at 18, I hated school... I got a job taking care of airplanes and eventually “ran the line” and that led me to want more in life.
At 52, I have a gorgeous wife, who loves God and is the mother of my 5 beautiful kids, kicks a$$ at golf (a 9) and is a knockout. I have multiple business that are doing well and I am an IFR rated pilot... In other words, I’ve lived, loved, and been successful in my life(thank you Lord), but I always feel uneasy when the college subject comes up.
This Punk, and that is what he is and has always been, was spoon fed from the time he was slapped on the ass and couldn’t lead a fly to a picnic.
I can’t tell you how offended I am by pricks like this. In my experience, the smartest guys in the room, and I’m not taking about me here, are the ones with little or no parchment on the wall.
F this Jackass!
I’m sending Walker a check the moment he announces.
You forgot to mention Socrates....he did ok without a degree.
Conservative talk-show host Dennis Prager has said something like ‘one may come out of college no smarter than before entering.’ He may have even said to avoid college. Come to think of it - it’s because of LIBeral professors feeding garbage to our kids.
He has a series called ‘Prager University’ on his website. About a 5 minute ‘lecture’ from folks Prager trusts.
I have seen just a few minutes of one lecture, along with my spouse, who is now interested in having a computer solely because of ‘Prager University!’
Oh - spouse has a college degree - - -
My daughters would be success stories if not for crippling loan debt. For example, Two college, community and state, not but 15 miles apart so my daughter gets an AA from one and transfer to state college where transcripts for same college not accepted. She takes classes over at significant time and expense and graduates after 8 years with well over 300 credits. During this time she worked full time at major retailer yet had to take out 68K in student loans to finish. Had the colleges coordinated their classes she could have graduated much sooner with far less debt. But the colleges would have made much less off her. The college malignancy has been growing unattended far too long.
