WTF is Jamesgang? Guess left wing drool is ok, typical...
"Eisboch" wrote in message ... "Reginald P. Smithers III, Esq." wrote in message ... Which explains why Harry Krause has fabricated his Yale story. He is hung up on his inability to get an Ivy League education. I still don't understand why or how he ever came up with Univ. of Kansas in his quest to get a quality Liberal Arts Education. If you look at the number of people who have been successful in their chosen fields you will see most DO NOT have an Ivy League school education. I would also postulate that most of those successful individuals who DO HAVE an Ivy League would have been successful no matter what college they went to. The Ivy League education can help someone in their first job, but after that, it is up to the individual's ability to perform. I don't know if Harry attended Yale or not and don't really care. I get a bit responsive though when he his critical of others in terms of their education or tries to justify the qualifications of people based on what school they went to rather than what they accomplish. With our kids I preached that in reality it didn't matter what school you went to as long as you pursued a degree. A degree is a key for opportunity but unless you plan to enter the job market as an attorney or something at some prestigious law firm, the school you attended and earned your degree from really isn't that important. The biggest battle I had with our oldest son was trying to convince him that his school selection should not be based on the football coach's offensive line strategy. (He was quarterback and team captain of his high school football team). I saw a show the other day where a professor at a well known big university was discussing this. She made the point that more focus and interest should be given to trade and technical schools in the US. Mike Barnacle was also a panelist on the show and he and she both agreed that one of the biggest educational "bargains" today are Jr. Colleges and state universities, both of which Barnacle attended and earned his degree. Having dealt with many people who never left the world of academia, worked at big colleges and universities and rated themselves and their peers based on how many papers they authored and delivered, I couldn't agree more with the show's quest or Barnacle. Eisboch oooops. "guest". (lousy education) |
