My oldest son dropped out of college to become a radio disc jockey. He later decided to apprentice as a transmitter engineer at a station he was working at. He is now regional engineering manager for a huge radio network making a six figure income. No college. Just hard work.
I know the old saying is, “it’s not what you know; it’s who you know”, but the truth is that the “what you know” part of that equation is really important.
If what you know is women’s studies, gay studies, the history of American imperialism, and the rich and their hateful millions, then you might as well know nothing. You’ve gone from qualifications to BS in the school cafeteria all the way to qualifications to qualifications to BS at the family reunion.
