60% of Americans did not go to college.

Even on this forum younger posters tend to be more knowledgeable.

We dont know who is here.....Americans are colossal liars now.

Education is more than vocational training.

True if you're not doing it for vocational purposes it's indentured servitude. You don't have an idea for a career in mind you will be a debt slave.

Maybe it's this way of thinking that causes so many college educated people to be so unemployable.

And took on more student debt maybe fewer of them should have gone to college and learned a skill.

A lot of fields require college now.
Back in the day any old impoverished uneducated Irishmen could become a cop.
Not the case, anymore.

Good point. Do not go to college and study physics. Be practical, right?

I went to Police academy in 2013 all I had to have was a high school diploma. So it seems to still be the case today.

So, Stonebystone , @$$hat Zombie, Legion & myself are lying about being younger!?

Some of the really stupid posters seem to be older,like Dutch Uncle, Hoosier daddy, Mason & Sailor.

I would say don't go to college unless you want to fulfill a career. It's extraordinarily overpriced. And if you don't make money you will be in debt for a large portion of your life.

College is what high school used to be.

Not to do the work they dont, very often employers hire college grads either because they assume they are higher quality than those who did not go (At least they are looking out for their future by purchasing a university degree) or in the case of cops what is wanted is those who have been indoctrinated in the WOKE Religion. As the general population catches on to what a fraudulent operation universities have become the first part goes away.

That's still more of a requirement than back in the day.

I think it is California that just said that all new cops must be university grads.....the entire point is to only hire the WOKE.

I don't think White Millennials are much if any less Conservative than White Boomers.

In fact White Millennials seem to have voted Trump in 2020.

I can't imagine White Boomers 40 years ago voting Trump.

The problem with Millennials is it's a far less White generation.

Who's fault is that!?
Boomers for doing nothing about illegal & legal immigrants from Reagan to present.

No it's really too many liberal arts degrees. An engineer would do well. Someone with a PhD in psychology might be working at McDonald's for the next couple of years.

[PostmodernProphet]

Demmycrats that went to college are at least smart enough to try to get someone else to pay for it.......and conservatives are smart enough to say "fuck no!".........
