I agree with Jeanne 100%. I value education and I can agree to an extent that it requires hard work and sacrifice. I have seen what an Ivy League degree yields and in some cases, there wasn’t any hard work. People whose parents have enough money to pay and/or have a legacy will get in. They will graduate. A credit score seems like the more important document these days than a transcript. People get turned down for jobs even with their degree because of a poor credit score.
My mother is a very intelligent woman, but when she graduated high school in 1963, she had no knowledge that she could go to college on a scholarship, which she clearly would have gotten, as she was a top student. She got married and raised a family. She knows how to balance her checkbook, which my M.A. degree self can’t do, raised 3 girls on one salary, was widowed at 29, and can still cook dinner every day. I have worked with people who have PhD’s who don’t use common sense and get flustered at any little thing that doesn’t go precisely their way. There is a job for every individual out there. We aren’t all meant to be rocket scientists or sanitation workers. We do pick jobs and situations that suit us. There isn’t a need to make judgments about people because they have or haven’t obtained a degree. College is not for everyone, just like medical school isn’t for everyone, just like law school isn’t for everyone. Many people who never stepped foot in college read and have even taught me a thing or two about other subjects like history and science. Like my mother says, “Paper holds whatever you write on it.” Doesn’t mean anything to have your name on a degree if you don’t behave like an educated person.
