Ehh.. I don't agree with him for the most part. The student loans, as we've talked about in other threads, have gotten way out of hand for people. But beyond that... There are fields where you don't have to have a college degree to thrive in. IT is one of them (speaking from experience...) Sales would be another (Its more about personality and networking rather than book smarts) and the list goes on, but to get into professional positions 9 out of 10 times, you need that piece of paper saying that you stayed awake long enough in class to do a passable effort. Maybe 100 years ago, you could get into working in a lab without a college background, or 50 years ago you could teach in a little school on the prarie, but these days, places want licensure.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Wile E. Coyote, genius. I am not selling anything nor am I working my way through college, so let's get down to basics: you are a rabbit and I am going to eat you for supper. Now don't try to get away, I am more muscular, more cunning, faster and larger than you are, and I am a genius, while you could hardly pass the entrance examinations to kindergarten, so I'll give you the customary two minutes to say your prayers.
Bachelor of Science in PsychoRabbitology degree
