The College Scam

[Vle045]

It's not a popular thing to point out but 50% of Americans are of below average intelligence.  The idea that everyone should go to college is foolish.  Many people would benefit from some post-secondary education or training.  Clearly the entire system is in need of an overhaul but just as clearly, it's not going to happen.  At least not in any sort of hurry.

I am glad you said it!  Sometimes I think it’s even more than that.  And social media is proof of it.
I can add myself to the list of people with a degree that they aren’t even working in. That sociology degree checked the box for jobs that I have had where I really don’t feel my degree improved my ability to perform the job.

My son doesn’t seem too interested in college. But I hope I can at least get him to do a “check-the-box” degree using what I learned on this forum. He is a smart kid, but he has no ideas for his future yet.
