Exactly. I’m glad he got a degree. But since his classes were FREE it might have been a better idea to get a degree in something that would get him a better job than being a janitor. Now he will be a janitor with a degree in a useless subject.

Why? Never judge a man by the profession he chooses or the money in his pocket........

It's obvious that Mr. Filipaj derives his happiness from less materialistic things.

Having a degree, period, is the key to many jobs (or used to be). Granted that higher paying slots might go to professional degrees, but, hey. the vast majority of grads never work in their fields anyway. Finally, a lot of liberal arts degrees are pretty useless to begin with given the leftist inculcation they are designed to contain. Knowledge in the classics, Latin, Greek and his background of humility, respect for freedom and a sane world view should serve him (and society) better than 99% of ALL grads - professional or not.

Maybe we need to get back to basics, This is classical education to improve one self. There is nothing wrong with being a janitor. Have we gotten to the point where the purpose of education is only jobs?
