Majority of Republicans do not see value in a higher education

[Crixus]

According to Pew research, By a steep 22-point margin, Republicans now believe American colleges and universities have a net negative effect on the country. In 2010, Republicans still said college was a good thing by a 26-point margin. So that’s a complete collapse in GOP support for higher education (self-identified Democrats and independents have always thought college is good by overwhelming, 40-point plus margins, and still do).

Your liberal professors are the reason. They are uselessness and only have jobs because they got tenure.

 

[Rustic]

Liberals are such children. Tell them that their expensive education in Early Celtic Transgender Basketweaving is worthless and they will immediately scream back "you don't want me to be a heart surgeon!"

A degree in basket weaving, sadly, is the equivalent of being a coal miner or a machinist or many other manual jobs that are declining or have gone away.
If the critics of worthless degrees must look at those with worthless skills as the same.
The key is to have a skill or a degree that will get you a job

Machinists never have to look for a job, demand is much higher than supply. Shit for brains

The petroleum industry is here to stay, live with it bedwetter

I am referring to the many unemployed factory workers in the rust belt.
If you do not get my point you are dense.
At one time basket weaving was a legitimate in our economy.

For a "smart rich guy" you have shit for brains... lol

They be on the losing side of the economy. The question will be whether the alt right can keep them voting and whether the Main st gopers give up and vote for a non-toxic dem, assuming the fools run one.

How Much Is a College Degree Worth? -- The Motley Fool

 

[EvilCat Breath]

The key is getting these students to understand that they are not special. Their brilliance is not immediately recognizable and they are in competition with the world.

It is not politically correct to say so but when that graduate enters the workforce he and she will be in competition with graduates from India, China, Korea, Iran, who did not attend the protest against Ann Coulter. People who brought their A game every single day.

Instead these absolute idiots will mewel "you don't want me to get a college education ".

How about this "Dolt, you don't deserve a college education. Now get in the garage and learn how to do something useful. Make toothpicks. "

Are students with frivolous degrees any different than factory workers or other manual laborers whose skills are in much lesser demand or no demand at all.
They feel the economy and the world should change so they can use the skills they have.

Absolutely those with nonsense degrees are different than those who technology has displaced. Displaced workers made lives, had families and mortgages. They didn't decide to have a useless skill.

The unemployed factory worker had a job. The basket weaving graduate never worked as a basket weaver. Not for one day in their entire lives.

Yes they do but they believe in freedom of choice for individuals.
Not the government telling them what to do.
Tech schools are just as good with good pay.

No one said they weren't. There are plenty of skilled trades where one can excel and do well. That in no way diminishes the need for a more formal path for those who choose to set their sights a little higher.

"sights a little higher"?????
I respect a journeyman heavy duty mechanic far more than some LIB man-bun pussy who teaches LIB indoctrination to gullible teenagers anyday.

How about the MBA that makes anywhere from $250K to well over a MIL?

How many journeymen tradesmen are currently employed? How many MBAs are they making what journeymen tradesmen are making?
You have the mentality of a ten year old.
How many 'MBAs are making a million a year?
You can't count Webb Hubble's daughter Chelsea.
Even though she's already been awarded a "Lifetime Achievement' award for doing fuck all.
Like BONOBO got from the Nobel Prize committee populated by Socialists, for getting up in the morning.

Let me clue you in on something professor.
People don't spend $100K or more to get an MBA to make $100K/yr.

It's obvious that you are clueless.

Umm no it's not. You can't live without machinists and coal miners. Just because a job isn't happening in front of you doesn't mean you can get by without it being done.

That's hilarious coming from someone who is advocating that there's no need for a college education.

I would bet that these 'liberal children' are far more successful than you could ever hope to be.

I doubt that.

There is no value to the majority of these degrees. None. That's why they are unemployed saddled with enormous student debt. There is no market for Campus Rioter on a resume`.

You know this.

Better they go to a good trade school.

Why do you assume that most graduates have 'useless' degrees?

Because they do. Unfortunately, the entire complaint over student debt is from those who have useless degrees. McDonalds and Domino's delivery is full of people with useless degrees.

Young people take courses that are easy. Show up and pass. Then they find that the trade off is to be unemployable.

I wish it were different.

Great! Even if that were true, it in no way diminishes the benefits of receiving an education.

Well, just tell them if they don't vote the Alt-Right will be waiting for them under the bed where all imaginary monsters live.

Trump did not cause this loss of confidence in colleges and universities, the colleges and universities did that. Students are running up debts in the hundreds of thousands of dollars for degrees that do not improve their career prospects. Did you think people wouldn't notice?

But the point is a majority of all people's views are consistent over the years, and gopers have become outliers.

Since 2015, Republicans’ views of the impact of colleges have turned much more negative

And meanwhile Latinos are pursuing higher education at increasing rates

5 facts about Latinos and education

How many of those are illegals getting in-state tuition?

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Sometimes college is good. Sometimes it's a complete waste of time and money.

Niece 1- Teacher. Worth it, kind of. Once she hits the private sector she'll make better money.

Niece 2- Pharmacist. Well worth it. Holy shit that girl's making some serious cash.

Niece 3- Art. Total waste.

It's not that all college is bad. College for all is bad.

It is what one makes of it. College does provide more opportunities but one must take advantage of the opportunities.

True, but the problem with most higher education in this country is the indoctrination that goes with it.

Don't forget the nice paychecks.

True, proves progressives are hypocrites... lol

Hypocrites?
Why?
Because they invested their time, money and great effort to better themselves?

Uh, yes they do! If you make $100K a year for ten years, you have made a million bucks and your college loans are only 10% of that!

Why can't liberals read or do math? Are they all middle school dropouts?

They didn't decide to have a useless skill.

They didn't make a conscious choice to obtain skills that would carry them over an entire career either.

Except MBAs will be making much more than that after a decade. Far surpassing their peers in the trades. That was the point, dumbass.

Then that is what you should have said.

We use to have solid higher learning institutions in this country. Education these days is based on liberal propaganda and MTV.

It seems your opinions are framed by Limbaugh, Hannity, and all other conservative sources of propaganda; your propensity to post only echoes of such, and personal attacks on millions of Americans you know nothing about, have never met nor ever will is in sum vapid insipidity.

My opinion is based on fact. Your opinion doesn't matter because you need a huge, unaccountable, and bankrupt government to think and do everything for you.

A great example of why the New BS (giveaway to the greedy idiot brainwashing billionaires) GOP loves ignorant people...

Q. Do you take pills to create your ignorance

A professor has earned an advanced degree in the subject matter in which they instruct Unless you are one of those who believe all research is funded by the special interests, and therefore all science is fake, your post is nothing more than an echo of a meme only believed by biddable fools.
