I have a bachelor’s degree, a law degree and a masters of law degree, all from elite schools. I must be part of “the less-educated class” that Brooks describes, though, because I despise him and is ilk with every fiber of my being.
I have some fancy degrees of my own but found out quickly the lesson from Godfather III:
“The higher I go, the crookeder it becomes.”
I never liked the idea of being just another self-dealing lying scheming backstabbing sociopath.
