"Getting an education has nothing to do with being an elitist. It only has to do with developing ones mind.

That has been true historically but in modern times it has also become a refuge for institutionalized students who lack imagination, initiative, street savvy, and the interpersonal skills needed in productive society. Students who basically have no where else to go, often returning to live in their parent's home in their thirties. Which also helps to explain why so many are servile where higher education has become politicized.<<

Do you just make shit up? I wonder what is going on in your mind? That is pure fantasy.

Every study ever done shows college kids make more thant high scholl grraduates and high school graduates make more than non graduates.

All of my friends and their children and everyone I know who went to college went on to live productive lives after college. And they depended on their parents less than those that didn't because it was easier to get work with a skill and degree, plus going to college is hard work and teaches one a work ethic.
