However, when trying to have an intelligent discussion with someone that has vested interests in "higher education," it's quite hard to get through to them the waste of time, talent and money these worthless degrees really are. I know MANY college educated people who are currently working in local fast-food joints and call centers - a perfect example of the waste of time, talent and money.<br /><br />Peace, and keep up the good work!<br /><br />Mr. FreethinkerMikey Freethinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13902473059281292505noreply@blogger.com
