However, it's not strictly necessary. Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, Bill Gates, Paul Allen, Peter Jennings, Thomas Edison, and scores of others took the hard knocks route and did just fine. One could even make a case that the autodidact (one who is self-taught) brings different perspectives from the shrink-wrapped product churned out of most universities.
What's a far more valuable - and rare - commodity in my opinion, in addition to applied intelligence, is character.
Only if he runs out of toilet paper. ...I’ve got a couple of them I’d be willing to sell for less than the Saudis paid for Obama’s.
No doubt David A. Sinclair, MD, would find that interesting, were he still alive.
I went to the world class U of Calif. at Berkeley for my chem engineering degree on the WWII GI bill. I had a very good experience there. However, I have long believed that after WWII the colleges and universities milked the GI Bill for all the money there was and not much intention for actual sustaining benefits for the populace of the US who bore the brunt of WWII costs during and after. Life after college demonstrated to me that although knowing fundamentals is a must for some purposes it is personal initiative and inherent intelligence that advances a society.
Whoop de do!
Buddy from Rhode Island, twice mayor of Providence, earned a law degree from Marquette in 1966, despite being a Democrat rapist at gunpoint.
Man I knew the MSM would make an issue of Walker’s lack of formal education. I just didn’t erxpect it so soon!
Nor does one need to be a member of Congress to be Speaker of the House!
I don’t want Walker anywhere near national office, but that has nothing to do with his lack of a college degree.
And the MSM is already mocking him as stupid for not believing in glo-bull warming.
Bill Gates for one.
>> Does the U.S. President Need a College Degree?
Seriously? The question should be:
Does the U.S. President Need to hide his College Degree?
The last four presidents (Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama) all from the Harvard - Yale nexus. Hillary Clinton also Yale.
Shows how worthless the Ivy Leagues are. Pointless.
Absolutely not.
Your buddy is a Democrat rapist?
Walker is a Republican, so what’s your point?
No such requirement to be a judge.
Considering the Statist-Bilge that is pumped into the heads of the kids attending Ivy League Colleges and how many of them end up in the beltway helping to FUBAR what our Framers gave us, I consider the lack of a degree a Resume Enhancer.
Ted Cruz excluded of course :-).
Lawyers are the problem in Government and why we’re in the shape we’re in. Far to many laws in this country and as far as I’m concerned lawyers should be banned form any government position.
Would Al Hunt have his panties in a twist if Walker
was a Dem’Rat without a degree?
No surprise there.
