I’ll do you one better. I had to fly into a southern city (I won’t say which one)....late at night....need a rental car. I went and there was one single place open and the manager was the last person there. Young lady, probably 22, dressed as you’d expect for a manager. We got to talking while waiting for the print-out. She is a college graduate (3 months out of college), and this was the only job she could get. Full-up 4-year degree....for a car rental shop at a small airport. In the 1970s....it would have been some 50-year old guy, high school diploma.

I asked about pay, this being a car rental manager job. It was basically $24k a year. Her problem was that she owed around $40k in student loans and really needed to start paying this off. I didn’t say anything but this was a lousy excuse for someone having a degree. It used to be that a degree meant something. Now? I’m like you....it’s a big question mark on value.

today’s 4 yr college degree is probably equivalent to that 50 year old in the 70’s SECOND grade education.
These young people are being indoctrinated with Marxism AND robbed.
