Competent ‘trade’ folks will provide more of value to you in one year than the combined total of all ‘kollege profezzorz’. And I was one of those professors (spelled correctly, because I was STEM - my stuff worked and still does). Just one call to a plumber will provide you more worth than the sum of all knowledge or work (if any of either) given by those with “woke” degrees in the multiverse.
I was the last of a breed, a humanities professor whose students were taught how to think, how to find truth, and what millennia of past geniuses handed us to make our lives lived better. I used to, only half sarcastically, tell my students that their other classes would teach them how to make money, but I would teach them how to spend it, on that which satisfies the mind and the soul. And I did this because I love God and I love the best of the past and I love what the future could be. That is why I hate with a righteous passion what has been done to the concept of college by my woke colleagues, and I pray they either repent or suffer eternally for what they have done.
