Good for you and I am happy for your success. That said I hated high school and rather then go to college I joined the USAF. thanks to the USAF and my brain I earn over 170k a year and never had to wonder if my degree was worthless.

Good for you F15Mech! My son’s an F-16 mechanic down at Shaw. He too hated high school, and left college after three semesters. I was confident he’d get great training in the AF (two of my brothers did too,) but I didn’t know it would be that good.

Did I earn a worthless degree? Hardly. My undergraduate years may have been bereft of frissons, but I wound up with a career as a tenured professor at Syracuse University, a traditional university. I am now the president of a Washington research organization.

Indeed. Getting rid of the many useless “Studies” departments would save millions.

It’s embarrassing what dreck Princeton pays Cornel West to spew.

Of course, that would require laying off the superfluous humanities professors.
