An education that was a complete waste of the money spent on it.

That's what Plankton always says to Mr. Krabbs even though The Chum Bucket is going out of business at the hands of the Krusty Krab.

Its so funny how the Democrats have the least educated voters and want to design the election system so the dumbest, laziest, most uninformed voters have an easy time voting, because they know those people tend to vote Democrat. Yet they want to brag about having more education.

Fact is, white college educated voters are still more likely to be Republican. Its only overeducated voters like Phds and lawyers that lean Democrat.

You have an indoctrination.

As Thomas Sowell once said, “There is a difference between intellect and wisdom.”

I'm educated.. Guarantee one of our degrees will lead to gainful employment while the other leads to a career at Starbucks.

Winner!

Not to derail the thread, but a lot of degrees have so little financial reward and come with so much loan debt that it could be argued that pursuing work directly out of high school would produce better lifetime earnings for these people.

Not a derailment at all. These students and their parents still believe that going to college was a guaranteed pathway to success when the reality is that such a conceit evaporated back in 2008.

You’re 21 or 22 and believe you have an education. Bless your heart....

No if you’re lucky you have a piece of paper that might open a door for you so you can begin your real education. That real education is called life.

Graduating from college is life’s version of just the tip.....

its rather funny that a 21 year old with a college degree and student loab debt thinks they are more educated than say a plumber or welder with their own business

It was a well crafted up-sell on the value of higher education. 'Get good grades so you can go to college! Otherwise you'll end a as a plumber or mechanic.'

In fairness, none of us knew how much we didn't know at that age.

We weren’t standing on the street screaming obscenities at those we didn’t agree with either. Mostly because someone would have punched us in the face.

Care to back that up with any evidence? Because I think that is an overwhelmingly false statement.

And I'm still waiting to hear what "overeducated" means other than (as I see it) some form of anti-intellectual garbage statement that slaps the face of many of our nation's hard working folk.

“Our Nation’s hardworking folk” are for the most part Republicans and Independents.

Liberals don’t believe in hard work. They would rather bust the windows out of a business and steal a TV instead of paying for it. After all, according to the Left, it’s their right.

Liberalism is a disease. A malady that needs to be eradicated. Ripped out by the root and stem.
