The Associated Press reported today that 28 percent of households that receive food stamps are headed by someone who has at least “some” college experience. In 1980, this figure was eight percent.
For decades now, the government and others have been preaching to the American people about the necessity for going to college in order to have meaningful employment.
Now, anyone giving this a moments thought would realize that we still have to have workers who do things which doesn’t require technical expertise, or, consider weighty things which one is suppose to learn in higher education. The government has done it’s part by grants and loans in trying to entice everyone to go to college and university. Again, anyone who gives this a moment’s thought realizes that not everyone has the capacity to understand some of the complexities which higher education is suppose to teach us. This isn’t opinion, it’s just a fact of life.
So now, 28% of the people on foodstamps have at least attended some higher education. Well, duh!!!!! College, like the HS diploma was when I graduated, is so common place, it no longer holds any meaning. The standards have been lowered and degraded so much all a diploma and college degree means is that you know how to breath on your own.
This is a natural consequence of the stupidity of that piss poor advice to all children in the US. But, we had to in order to strengthen and expand the indoctrination of our children.
The employers all wanted their workers to be educated, and they should be. But, the education of the children should be taking place in our primary schools, not our secondary. But, we can’t teach them in our primary schools because we’re filling their head with mush, there.

Nice. Schools don’t need armed guards. Schools need personnel with arms at hand. Once the nutters who like to shoot up schools realize that the most likely thing will be that they die quickly and ignominiously, they’ll stop on their own.

Like climate scientists?
There’s always a movement on campuses to throwout the engineers, because they actually learn something in college that employers can use.
Apparently, a liberal education is supposed to teach nothing that an employer would hire someone for.

Indeed. It’s weird that basket weaving isn’t a marketable job skill or knowledge base.
well suyts, I think you’re wrong on this one
master weavers do very well selling museum quality work in a variety of media
do any thing really well and you’ll do just fine
When you thought it couldn’t get more absurd:

It is not ANY College degree, it is the bastardization of the education by creating useless liberal arts degrees! The only thing an “art history” major is good for is “DO you want fries with that?”
Liberals arts was to SUPPLEMENT the hard sciences, not replace them. We are graduating brain dead idiots that know how to demonstrate to save the snail darter, but not how to balance a checkbook.
For a look at “higher education” from a Professor’s point of view, browse the blog “Confessions of a College Professor.” Here is a page (just as one example, but surf around there a bit): http://professorconfess.blogspot.com/2013/03/and-so-begins-end-of-my-career-as.html
I was following my own advice and ran across this post: http://professorconfess.blogspot.com/2013/06/so-im-mostly-posting-to-rense.html
The purpose of a college education is to drag in students who will take out big loans and turn the money over to their school. It does not matter whether the student is qualified. It does not matter whether the student gets buried in debt. It does not matter whether the student never graduates. It does not even matter whether the student passes or even learns something. Follow the money.
