I sit corrected on the author. I should have said "entitled elite" ( which spans political ideology).

That aside...

Anyone who believes a degree === education deserves to be made a sucker.

Anyone who believes a degree === the ability to string thoughts together deserves to be laughed at.

Look around, we HAVE increased the ubiquity of structured education and yet we keep enlisting students who can't figure out their career doesn't pay enough to cover their excessive loans at their "I MUST go there" over-rated private college / edu.

Left or right, the overproduction system is fueled by such suckers.
