I disagree with those who say you don't need a college degree. I hate to admit it, but, with a college degree, you can get a Government job and be set for life. No intelligence or competence required, just the piece of paper. The dumber you are, the more you need a college degree.
Now that's an interesting viewpoint and there's probably truth to it. I do wonder why in this day and age so many people feel the need for a college degree. They, and us, would be much better off monetarily if they trained to be skilled craftsmen, like electricians, plumbers and HVAC technicians. But that would require hard work.
