Educated vs "Non-Educated"

Huge debt, crying for taxpayer relief, living in mom's basement, working as night shift manager at McDonalds

 

A majority of college students are wasting their time, learning nothing in their high priced day camps. Bankers and educators thank them for their generosity

 

How much money did they spend, and years of earnings did they give up to get that income?

A PhD in gender studies, race relations or sociology is not a confirmation of higher intelligence.

 

I have no idea and don't care.

 

The OP to some extent is right, but I think the OP is trying to get at the idea smart people don't have to be educated. That's true, but one that has some historical issues with it. Women have historically been denied the right to an education, and many feminist thinkers will point out having an education is what makes them able to compete with men. The same thing with Black people. Not everyone is going to have the luxury of being able to take some time off to learn how to read and do math. That's why compulsory education matters and people have to go to school to learn.

 

One point I failed to mention earlier. When a corporation bids on a contract, especially with the US government, they list how many PHDs, MSs and BSs they have on staff. It makes little difference whether they are productive. Just the fact they are a PHD helps them get more contracts.

 

I am seeing that paradigm shift though maybe not for the government.

 

1. "Education" is an abstraction, a lifetime process, and possessing more paper in whatever from wherever does not make one more "educated."
2. LW lie narrators constantly parrot out the lie that "more educated" people vote for Democrats. People who possess more degrees in whatever from wherever get paid more in their do-nothing gov jobs for possessing them. The private sector does not compensate in this ridiculous, corrupt way. Sitting through a post-grad degree at the local cow college does not make one "more educated." Most true education is obtained via real work experience, and private sector workers end up far more "educated" than public sector workers ever will be. They know this full well, and that insecurity is a big reason behind all the mental masturbation lie narratives of "more educated" that the ever masturbatory Left engages in.
3. Gov-edu-union-contractor-grantee-trial lawyer-MSM Complex denizens vote the way they do due to pure financial self-interest, has nothing to do with how educated or intelligent they are.
4. I'd take the "education" of an undergrad degree in engineering from even a middling program over 10 "doctors" of grievance studies, social unsciences or Liberal Marx from anywhere. Doctoral and Masters holders in those are less suited to productive private sector employment than High School dropouts generally, which is why so many of them end up baristas, bartenders and in retail.

 

Wrote elsewhere: I want the Fed to rule that no Fed job may REQUIRE brick and mortar education. Kids should be free to leave school at the age of reason (13) and with the assistance of counselors, get their 1st homes and jobs to which they can get from public transport. Apprenticeships and online credentials: certs, licenses. That would lead us to a greater liberty: younger people starting families, having kids, earning money rather than sinking into debt while real meritocracy gets a boost.

 

Educated vs non-educated is simply a classification and is certainly relevant in polling.
It isn’t a metric that measures intelligence, just educational attainment.

What talking point are you referring to?

 

I beg to differ,more education WILL make you more intelligent!!

 

Does it enable you to use double exclamation points and all caps?

 

Education is a poor indicator of intelligence. The danger is that education can limit your ability to see beyond that education. I have known some brilliant PhDs and a few that were as dumb as a rock.

 

Yep. All those employers are stupid for paying more for nothing.
Funny how that works. You would think they would figure it out.

 

Many of them are paying for the prestige of having a PhD on the staff. Whether the PhD adds anything useful is another subject.

 

Spelling and grammar Nazis really aren't showing their superiority, only their excessive pettiness. You did not discuss the matter at hand, and that's education levels. Who has the highest drop out rates?

 

Educated is just as nebulous a term on its own as intelligent or skilled. Its just folks unwilling to be precise in their terminology.

 

Edumacated?

 

That was not a "set-up." You think he misspoke on purpose to set you up? No, you set yourself up!

 

Baristas with college degrees make more ?

 

Arrogant conclusion based on nothing.

 

Define majority.

 

Well, he's far better at English than I am at French.

 

The trick with PhD's is to use their brains and not their hands.

 

The trick with PhDs is to find one that can use his brains.
