Why Are the Highly Educated So Liberal?

Simple; because Trump is not the most corrupt, dishonest President in American history. But Obama could have a run for it.

The best reason is that he is not a geriatric lying corrupt dementia laden buffoon like Joe. Anymore asinine questions that are self evident. #fuckoff

I guess you are incapable of offering reasons why trump should be elected, I am not surprised. That is exactly what Joe B will be elected.

So what. Why do modern libs have to make everything about race? Race has nothing to do with this thread.

What's most shocking, is the disparity in murder between Catholic Irish in Massachusetts, and Protestant Irish in Mississippi.

With Irish Protestants in Mississippi having a staggering 6X higher murder rate than Irish Catholics in Massachusetts.

While, the first ancestry in Mississippi is Irish just like in Massachusetts.
It is unlikely they are Catholic Irish, more than a few.

The majority of Irish Americans are Protestant, but actually a lot of them probably aren't even really Irish down South, but rather Scots-Irish, who were mostly Scottish immigrants who came to oppress Ireland.

Scots-Irish are dwindling as they continue calling themselves "American" or "Irish" by ancestry.

I think it depends where your strengths are. I am someone who has a good bit of both and for me, you are correct.
I am very verbal and consequently essentially a straight A "humanities" undergrad. And not very good at math
therefore gots Cs in Chemistry, Computer Science, Calc. Oddly I was an A physics student, but that was family business,
so I had baked in info.

I think most important is what you enjoy, and that will determine if you become good and get paid for whatever the it is.

How about music. Some very interesting minds have an understanding that most of either bent cannot obtain.
 
Second thought here, the reason the STEM and technical skills lead to employment has zero to do with the rarity of the skillset,
it is valued because it is seated lower to the base in the hierarchy of human needs. That doesn't mean a civil engineer has anything upstairs
that a great novelist or painter does not possess. In fact, you would more likely school up that novelist to be an engineer than the reverse.

Niels Bohr and Heisenberg were physicists who knew a lot about philosophy. I cringe when I read people saying engineering is hard but philosophy is easy.
