    Most of the sissy losers in college are studying junk and won't make squat of themselves

    Opinion and experiences, but to each their own, those folks really aren't that special and certainly not any smarter than anyone else...

    It all comes down to evidence. What does the evidence say? Where does it lead us? What methods were used to gather it?

    Why would you say something this ignorant? There are hundreds of thousands of people getting medical degrees, nursing degrees, computer engineering degrees, digital imaging and tech degrees. The English major degree programs are quite small compared to many.

    A number of the richest people in America have degrees from liberal arts colleges. A number of the richest people in the world have far more liberal stances on issues than you.

    depends on what you studied and how hard you applied yourself. A majority are getting ripped off.

    If one guy makes $500k and four guys make $30k the average is $124k.
    Average incomes across all degrees is a stupid way to analyze the benefit

    I agree they aren't special. No one is special to me other than my family and friends.

    But to say Harvard isn't reputable is a bit silly. No offense.

    Some people actually study things that get a ROI. This is news?

    Some people do acquire valuable skills.
    This is true
    Many study junk that equips them for nothing.
    Hyperbole?

    Well, you could be like Trump and only wishing to make a buck and care nothing about other people.

    Savage?

    I agree. But not believing in the theory of evolution doesn't make you less of a student of the sciences. Take Ben Carson for example. His skill as a surgeon or his intellect in his field can not be denied, despite his faith in a higher power or his political leanings.

    So there's only what you studied and Trump?
    No other options?

    So you walk into a hospital and point to the janitor and say, "Hey, you look like you went to a trade school, I want you to take care of me while I'm in this hospital and perform any surgery that I need ...".
    And all the while, you type away on an internet brought to you be research from that damn liberal school, UCLA ...

    Damn. You got to get out of the radio-talk show BS loop.

    You're quick to conclusions aren't you?

    Oh wait, this forum is only insults and accusations, sorry.

    Actually, can you even name what that pic is?

    Large land based schools, including colleges are obsolete relics of the last century. Better instruction is available over the internet.

    The wasted real estate, structures and equipment should be sold off.

    I insulted you as I can see by your answer.

    A conversation about what, empirical evidence?

    Absolutely a person would not want a janitor for surgery. Everyone wants a sociologist to do the surgery.

    A medical degree is not a liberal arts degree like you and other Democrats try to claim it is.

    I'm curious, never heard of a janitor's trade school. Which one did you go to?

    You are totally off base. Liberals like you claim the "hardware and software" was engineered by liberals with degrees in cultural anthropology and sociology. It is education in technologies and skills liberals hate and replace.

    The #1 tactic of the Democratic Party and liberals is lying.

    When conservatives claim the government should not be financing studies in PCism, genderism, and other social and political issues, and other courses in the humanities, and instead teach useful and marketable skills such as engineering, medical, etc - liberals then rush to the lie claiming that is what liberal arts degrees are, when that is EXACTLY what liberal arts degrees are not.

    Back up your claims.

    Scientists care about people, shortsighted moron conservatives don't have that ability.
