    I'd bet against that. I would tend to agree with you if you said "dropped out of college, only had a few college classes or never tried to go to higher education".

    Of the rest I don't know but one actually working in the field of their major & she is very happy working for a theater company in Dallas but she isn't quitting her "day job"

    Am I alone in this observation? I highly doubt it.
    Anyone who has a BA, MA, or PhD degree in English literature, philosophy, art history, et al. and pursued that education with passion and commitment get nothing but respect from me. And I was on the science track.

    You are not alone. The people that tend to yuck it up about useless college degrees tend to be people who never graduated college.

    Agreed. I haven't seen anyone with an advanced degree who lamented pursuing it.

    I'm fairly certain that talk shows existed pre-Internet.

    You are not. I actually had a family member slap a book out of my hands, decades ago, and tell me that reading is for people who have no common sense.

    Of course, because that is a course offered at all the libtard-infected universities in America. That's why foreign citizens flock here to attend them.

    Gad Saad comes up with some really wonderful Failed University course names that are for the moment satire....dont count on that lasting....I am pretty sure that was one of his.
