More men are abandoning college. Professor explains why this is dangerous

[T. A. Gardner]

Note to most people. Avoid the poisoning your mind will get by attending most colleges.

Most women go to college and get worthless and semi-worthless degrees in liberal arts. So, their attendance is largely a waste of time and money. Many of them are really there to get the infamous "Mrs." degree.

I doubt if you or MAGA could converse with a college educated woman?!!

I can and have. I think the funniest stories come out of a single class I took, freshman astronomy. I took it in my junior year because I needed a filler course for my GI Bill benefits. If you take less than 12 credit hours they severely reduce the cash you get and I'd have had to pay some for courses if I let that happen.

Anyway, I took it because I'd already had courses in chemistry (both inorganic and organic), geology, physics, etc. For me I saw it as an easy 'A' and that it might be fun to take. The prof PDQ figured out I was an outlier / ringer and pulled me aside after one of the first sessions to tell me that I'd get an A but only if I helped the rest of the class...

So, the class was filled with liberal arts majors, mostly women. There were like 60 to 80 students in the section. I can remember having to show them how to do precession using basic arithmetic and simple algebra rather than the way the prof had shown them after class on the whiteboard. Or, the time that the prof had us calculate the age of the Earth using the half life of uranium... That was hilarious! I came to class having done this simple problem not even thinking about it.
The class was in an tither over it. Seems nobody except me had been able to do it because the half-life of uranium wasn't in the class textbook and nobody else (I used my hand dandy chart of the nuclides) had the brains to look anywhere else for it... So the prof had me hand him my little chart (it's the part necessary for fission and fusion calculations) and put the number on the board. He let them have to the next class to do it. I had to show many how you would do it...
Or the lady that refused to believe that the defense budget (this was before class) wasn't the biggest part of the federal budget. No amount of sources and graphs would convince her otherwise.
Or another I got held after class--I'd related this story to the prof earlier--to tell another female student that planes could easily disappear in the Bermuda Triangle without a trace. This was about an A-7 on the Enterprise that had gone down about 40 miles from the carrier off San Diego during training ops. We searched for four days and didn't find anything, long story short.

That class was such a hoot. The bulk of the liberal arts majors were vapid idiots. They couldn't do simple algebra. They had no real skills at researching or documenting anything. They were like high school students going through high school a second time.

You must have never gone to college. The vast majority of the degrees on those graphs are liberal arts degrees, either BA's or FA's.

Men are being smart. They realize college is only for people who can get an MBA or a stem degree. Women are getting their useless liberal arts degrees and going into debt forever.

MBA’s are pretty useless. No better than a general business degree. Great for getting a job as a life insurance salesman. (Not that there’s anything wrong with being a life insurance salesman. Just that it doesn’t really require a degree.)

wow, such a shame you spent 27 yrs sucking up gravy in the chow hall instead of working those equations and splitting atoms, eh slugger?

NYU Professor Scott Galloway says the drop in men going to college is part of a growing mating crisis in the US and that the country runs the risk of producing "too many of the most dangerous cohort in the world" if the trend isn't reversed.

Fuck college. My son is a certified FAA aircraft mechanic. He’s way farther ahead at his age than I was. And I’m a dentist.

I was in nuclear power so I was splitting those atoms...

Bet the kid makes good money at that.

Yep. Worked his way up with experience and now works on the big jets with fedex . Says it’s the last job he’ll ever have.
Early 30’s.
He’s an effing mechanical genius.

You must have never gone to college. The vast majority of the degrees on those graphs are liberal arts degrees, either BA's or FA's.

You must have dropped out of high school because, unlike your "Mrs. degree" false claim, the link states:

Nursing is the heavyweight here, with over 120,000 women graduating with a bachelor's in nursing in 2016. Nursing is also a female-dominated major, with 87% of graduates being women.

Which of the 20 most popular majors for women have the best earning potential? That would be Political Science and Government, which is 46% female-dominated, and where grads earn a median salary of $62,600.

The average salary for the top 20 most popular majors women choose is $52,800.

Which means he attended higher training for his A&P or worked for several years OJT.

Do you really think the average Fedex mechanic tops out dentists in pay over the course of their careers?

We can agree college isn't for everyone and for some, it's a total waste of money. This is the #1 reason why I'm against "Free College". Better to create more avenues for people to earn their degrees/higher training than to give it to them.

It's a ticket to the big leagues in business. I was never interested in business.
