Bull****. Just about every study available shows that a college

makes a huge salary difference. Maybe you were able to do fine
without
one, but that's not the norm any more. You think factory workers
are
the future? Jesus H. Christ that's a narrow view.

What happens to that statistic when you take out the hedge fund
managers, doctors and lawyers?
What is the average salary for the regular BA who struggled with
college, maybe taking 5 or even 6 years to complete his degree with
very little job skill to show for it?


Huh? You think that'll skew it enough to make much difference? Go
for
it. Job skill and general education have only something to do with
each other, as you've already pointed out. So basically you're full
of
****. What's wrong with a general education?????

There is nothing wrong with a general education but you have to
consider what you are learning and how it will actually help you
getting a job.
A far more meaningful statistic would be what is the difference
between a non-professional college degree and a trade school.

So, learning how to think critically... like getting a liberal arts
education is pretty worthless. I get it.

Well, what's the difference? You could use Germany as an example, but
they're a bunch of socialists.

Germany had mandatory active duty military service until 2011 when it
was ended in favor of a smaller, all volunteer force.
It wasn't a draft. Every able bodied male served. I believe the
requirement was for 2 years and had been in effect since the 1950's.

Several Germans attended some of the same classes I took while in the
Navy.
