    Probably true considering that they over-educated are often less successful. 

    Ur so right. All these fortune 500 ceo's are all high school dropouts to be sure.....

    First off, you're talking to the wrong guy, you hostile little monkey turd. If you take issue with something Steve said take it up with him. 15% by the way is not a negligible number. That's 1 in 6.25 or so. 

    Put that into perspective for a second. Black Americans are somewhere between 14-17% of the population. 

    So in your mind black people are negligible. 

    Nice job, racist.

    Yep. Truth hurts, unless it's involving a troll that has no idea of what they are saying, they just want a reaction and attention.

    That's funny that I make between master and professional degree money. 

    That means those degrees are toilet paper. 

    FYI a lot and I mean a lot of tradesmen make that kind of money.

    Yep. My top CNC guy makes $30 an hour plus has access to a lot of OT. Can get to $90k+

    I've seen CNC guys with CAD knowledge making $40 and hour. 

    I'm also between a master's and professional... so maybe those numbers are old. Or we're just in the right industry.

    No one is saying you CAN'T make money without a Bachelors or higher. We're just calling out people making claims like Steve has that are blatantly anti education.

  • This country needs more Tool and Die makers, CNC, etc.   Most who go to college end up getting a worthless degree like my younger brother who got a degree in journalism.  He ended up selling fucking insurance.

  • and less superduper educated moron dipsticks like this one:

  • way back, years ago, there was this PHD from India. I had my two yr degree. We worked in a high tech R&D lab.I was the only programmer/analyst.

    I wrote a calculations program for a very, very complex test that involved two crazy scientific really long and complex algorithms.Short version - my program calculated in about one second the right answer every time.I ened up in the VP's office, with the PHD ridiculing me for my program that kept getting the answers wrong.

    He even called me an incompetent fool. So, I went up to the white board, and explained my understanding of the whole scientific test, and my interpretations of the algorithms' proper calculation process in order.

       The VP got on the phone, and called an expert in the field that he knew. Turned out, I was absolutely correct, and the PHDwas completely wrong in how he calc'ed with his calculator. He went from yelling at me, to quietly apologizing. He was stunned.

      After that, he took us out to a local Indian food restaurant, and he kept taking me out every so often.

    The chicken drumsticks soaked in some kind of red beet brine something was really good.

    I spent many years fixing code of programs that were poorly written and didn't function properly - written by bachelor of computer science degreed higher educated incompetents.

       It isn't that you get a degree - it's still the innate skills that lends itself to the person being excellent in the field.

  • Even a stopped clock is correct at least twice a day.  I agree with  Cortez on this. There is no bigger fish representing crony capitalism than Amazon:

  • Steve the "anti education" bias from you is too strong. Bordering on some kind of resentment.

    The teacher bashing is just the cherry on top. Jesus

    You say "well I guess there are exceptions to every rule" while simultaneously acting like an exception is a rule. 

    You're just spouting off claims with 0 data to back it up and then acting like we need to prove you wrong. I mean I get that's 90% of this board but come on. Have some level of common sense.

     why, I went to college? What's your point? I'm not going to get a part in a movie because I aced my theater classes.

    The teacher bashing is just the cherry on top. Jesus

     teaching is one of the most overrated jobs in the United States. I would wager to say that anybody on this board could teach High School with a few months of training. Maybe not stem glasses but by and large. Teachers probably work 40% less than your average worker and make about twice the average wage in Ohio. Exceptions? Yes. There are some who are dedicated and wonderful. For every one of them there are probably five that are just taking up space and probably one or two that are actual detriments to learning.

    You say "well I guess there are exceptions to every rule" while simultaneously acting like an exception is a rule. 

     see above

    You're just spouting off claims with 0 data to back it up and then acting like we need to prove you wrong. I mean I get that's 90% of this board but come on. Have some level of common sense.

     Common Sense? Surely you jest.

     letting the teachers union lead you around by the balls is not common sense.

    Right? What an attempt at a hard left turn. He must have been watching something today that said Cortez is the devil. Just repeating what he saw.

    But posting a random slew of numbers really doesn't have anything to do with the opinion I put forth which I believe is valid. Education is fine oh, it makes some people feel better about themselves and in some cases trains a person for a career. Of course  some people tend to become arrogant  because they have a masters in something  it's not particularly useful to the real world .  I think teachers are among that group. When I was in college there were job postings all over the walls at the Student Center I can't specifically say it was most of them but it could have been that a red any degree.

  • "the over educated are often less successful"

    ... That's where a "ramdon slew of numbers" (read: evidence and data) would be very helpful.

    And that was just the first claim you made. You followed up with more on your anti education kick with little to nothing to support it.
