I met a guy at Sprouts this PM.

He, 29 years old, was an extremely well educated scientist
I asked him what kind, he told me, I think an epidemiologist .

I said where do you work, he said I'm a part time ambulance driver. I said why? He said there are no jobs.

He also added he's going to vote for Bernie Sanders.

Actually he's got a future, just not right now.

Then I came across this :

I thought of all the unlucky , debt ridden grads, who have no career
The above is dedicated to them

You may not agree, but you should watch it.

Notice no comments from the leftist assholes. They are the cause of the dumbing down of our universities.

Waste 4+ years, 10's of thousands of $$$,come out with a degree of nothingness and expect to be adored.

Notice that students who are serious about their careers, study,learn, graduate and make good money.

The students who disrupt classes and campuses are wasting their parents and government's money.

They take courses that remind me of a kid I knew in high school.
He wanted baseball so much, 25 years later he was still trying to get into the sport as a career.
I can see him now, sitting in his lazy boy, cap on backward, pot belly, six pack at his side, watching the games on tv.

College doesn't teach students what they NEED in life, it only promotes WANTS, unrealistic at that.

Then they're told they're VICTIMS of a society which ignores their wants.

The unrealistic expectations of these people are then to be paid for by the real achievers.

They are the selfish loners who, together with others of low expectations, hopes and drive, wallow in the misery of low achievement.

If you want to be the best basket weaver, don't go to 4 years of college, instead move to central or south America, be an apprentice , it's free, you just have to learn their language to get ahead ( novel idea isn't it! ).

Obviously, George Will has higher education figured out. I taught in higher ed for 26 years, and he is right on.

No, he's a user. Sez so in his handle.
He learned how to use grants.
So he stole his money. ;)

We were invited to a Niece's Graduation several years ago. She got a degree in Nursing Administration. :?:
When we got back to the house for the Partay, I personally congratulated her and asked her what was next? Any jobs in her field scoped out?
Her answer, "I donno."
I said, "What, you just graduated, but you donno?"
"Nope. I donno." She said.
She's finally working in her field and hung up her waitress apron.
Failure to launch. Still living at home.

I so damn glad I raised survivors, and not leeches.

I think BO has been pushing the college bit because the kids can't get jobs.

And if they're in school they won't riot.

Well, it did work for him. BO never had a job.

But he finally got somebody to pay for his golf.
You.
