[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The lack of a college degree really held back Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, Ted Turner, Michael Dell, and David Geffen from any real success.  Poor guys.

A lot of these guys figured out what top-level NBA players know: superstars are wasting their time if they stick around college for four years.

It’s this type of BS that sends the wrong message. The average male or female, by definition, is not a superstar. College matters for the average person. Unfortunately, there is a loud group on the right that now disparages college as elitist, feminist nonsense and promotes anti-intellectual, anti-scientific BS and the notion that boys can do better by starting YouTube channels, selling crap on Amazon, learning a trade, or being a hack programmer. Sounds like a horrible recipe for society. [/quote]

This. Boys are being indoctrinated by idiots that college doesn’t matter. This was also mentioned in the WSJ article but mostly passed over. [/quote]
