    I would assume that more educated would Go hand-in-hand with more education? For instance High School Dropout high school graduate associates degree four-year bachelor's Masters doctorate Etc. Can you think of a different and more relevant scale?

  • This is a small sample size of one, but a person I knew who left college after one year and started making frozen pizzas in the basement of his father's Italian restaurant within 10 years had turned that business into a worldwide empire. He started out making the pizzas and loaded them up in his station wagon and went out selling them and it all exploded after that. As his business grew he would hire more people, the more machinery he bought and the bigger buildings he would move in to. For me it was an amazing thing to watch what one person with a vision, not with a list of degrees after their name but good common business sense could accomplish. 

    This is where the dems miss it. You don't punish people like this with higher taxes and regulations you reward them. They are the job creators and the engine that drives our economy. If you take away the incentives for people to want to be successful who risk their own money and time and effort to create a business only to punish success you are killing the golden goose.

    I had a sociology professor at WVU  (Dr. Starr, has since retired) who we didn't study for his tests because if you just remembered the basic idea that white, old, rich, American, and Christian were evil, you could get an A. All of the questions were worded in a manner that if you kept a mindset like that you would pass. The same professor would get too hot in our class and staged a protest out front with students to force them to turn the AC down. I used the time to go get day drunk and be around people I didn't loath.

  • I did not expect for him to have a Wiki page haha.

    Marshall University. Not the best or the worst but it was close to where I live. Be prepared for a lot of group projects and hollow nonsense management classes. Most of the management classes are geared towards statistics but you will get some real turds that are just fluff.

    My undergrad was in GIS and I work with a lot of engineers. The current trend is for folks who have the technical know how to go and get an MBA to gain social skills haha.

    Calm yourself Woodrow. Deny already State I don't have the numbers? Just a guess. If you think otherwise I'm happy to hear your arguments as well.

    But you should be able to at least grassed my point. Doctor of Sociology making 73k would naturally be jealous of the garbage man with a high school diploma making a buck and a quarter.

  • Furthermore I think one of the largest classes of people with Advanced degrees are School teachers most of which I think are lucky to have their cake jobs. Jobs that just about anybody who can read and write could do if they have a little bit of aptitude.

    Have before you explode yes I think your degree is harder to get and more necessary to success in your field.

    That is a lot feeling you are posting. Do you have any actual evidence that this is the case? Your complete lack of respect for teachers is noted.
