I knew enough about those schools years ago to realize that I wouldn't even pay a $100 application fee to get into them.
Or David Hoggboy into Harvard
The local car wash is always looking for college graduates with communications degrees.
“There are of course exceptions, but few will get hired into junior executive positions in major corporations without a sheepskin. “
And then sit on your ass in a fricken cubicle in front of a computer doing shit you could care less about along with 100 other schlubs. Do they even give smoke breaks anymore?
Colleges get federal loans and state money from their students. Of course they offer idiotic majors. Gotta keep the machine running.
“OTOH, girls who don’t go to college are less, well, sullied.”
Great post-—ought to really cheer up all the FReeper ladies who have gone to college./s

Go look at any news story about Spring Break.
Men prefer to marry debt-free virgins without tattoos.
“Men prefer to marry debt-free virgins without tattoos.”
Maybe older men but the young men probably don’t give damn.

Young men have figured out it’s a rigged game and are refusing to gear up for the provider role, now that 70% of (no fault) divorces are initiated by women...the man has to pay alimony/child support and gets nothing.
It’s as if men could unilaterally divorce women but still demand sex twice a week on pain of the woman losing her career, while the man is free and clear of all obligations.
Think we’d see a dropoff in sales of “Bride” magazine?
I am a graduate of a small high school in South Carolina and I am ten weeks from my seventy fifth birthday. I joined the Navy straight out of high school and spent ten months out of three years of active duty going to a free electronics school which actually paid me a small salary along with furnishing food, clothing and shelter. I have no other formal education but I have had steady work until about a year ago when I had to sit down due to declining health. I’m not rich but I own house, vehicles etc debt free and my wife and I are not in danger of starving at this point. Judging from what I see around me very few if any of those who are receiving college degrees now could actually pass my EIGHTH grade final exam in English or History and probably a couple of other subjects. I am definitely not joking, I’m dead serious.
As far as starting pay after military service at age 23 I was working in a manufacturing engineering department of a bearing factory, driving a new Mustang and renting a three bedroom brick house. I was earning one hundred and ten dollars a week at a time when that new Mustang cost three thousand and the brick house rented for seventy dollars a MONTH! How many recent college graduates are doing that well now?
They certainly have done a great job of it alright.
Those are not Men. Those are wyMen.
