Everybody doesn’t have to go to college, but the gloves are pretty much off. The fantasy land America experienced following WWII is done and gone. To compete now, you have to compete with the entire world.
I’ve noticed that around here where I live, jobs that used to be open for people that didn’t have degrees, like electricians, etc. - now they are offering 2 years degrees at the community college in. Employers are now giving those with the degrees preference.
I guess that’s fine, but I can’t help but wonder about the bigger picture. The more programs like this that the college offers - the more grants and money they get in return. I happen to be taking classes right now at the college & I get these student emails everyday with notices about special speakers that are giving talks at the college. I’ve noticed that 100% of them are liberal speakers.
While the school is making more money getting more students, they are also indoctrinating them into the liberal mind. Liberals like to talk that they’re all about ideas and philosophy - but you can always see a money trail behind their “idealistic” speech.
“Everybody doesn’t have to go to college, but the gloves are pretty much off.”
Most of the most successful people in America today never went to college. Its highly over rated except for the still hard-sciences like medicine and engineering. The vast majority of college courses provide little skills-education and a ton of political indoctrination.
“The fantasy land America experienced following WWII is done and gone.”
And, by “fantasy land”, you are referring to what, exactly, or do you always communicate in cliches?
That's the problem. Do schools and colleges in China or Japan or India dumb their curriculum down at the behest of "liberals"? Do kids in their schools spend as much time learning about diversity as they do learning calculus? Is the curriculum in their schools PC and "gay friendly"? Are they routinely taught that their country is the source of the world's evils? The Asian students at my school are adults when they arrive here as freshmen. I guarantee you they won't be still having keg parties and sponging off their mom & dad when they're 43. Can't say the same for a lot of Americans, though.
