[QUOTE="Sgt Dog, post: 3626658, member: 15840"] An education is a wonderful thing. As all the posters here seem to be aware, our Universities are propaganda industries today. Victor Davis Hanson reigns supreme on the topic. But when PhD and Professors such as he and Jordan Peterson attest to the truth that our universities today do more harm than good you know “jobs” don’t sum up our predicament. I enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1972 because I wanted to be educated and the GI Bill was an avenue for poor families. That was before access to the internet was widespread. I was 35 before work allowed me the opportunity at nights in college. I’m glad I did, but by then I had a blue collar mindset. I still wanted an education beyond my craft. But I’ve a little distain for ideologues who never got their hands dirty in the physical world wanting to tell the working man how he should interpret it. That doesn’t exactly answer the original question but its what I think on the topic. Always liked this from a man too soon gone. “There are only two kinds of men in this world: Honest men and dishonest men. There are black men and white men and yellow men and red men, but nothing counts except whether they’re honest men or dishonest men.” “Any man who says the world owes him a living is dishonest. The same God that made you and me made this earth. And he planned it so that it would yield every single thing that the people on it need. But He was careful to plan it so that it would only yield up its wealth in exchange for the labor of man. Any man who tries to share in that wealth without contributing the work of his brain or his hands is dishonest”. Charley Moody [/QUOTE]
