college degree and educated should not be used interchangeably. One thing is certain - a college degree does not make one educated or smart. Many young men & women return from college so dumb they even believe men and women are the same!

True story. There's nothing difficult about receiving a BA at the average university.

A pulse and willingness to get out of bed is all that's needed.

even at schools like Stanford or Harvard - all you have to do is show up to all classes to pass... that is it... come to class = 100% guaranteed degree. especially true of private super expensive schools... if you 1-pay 2-show up.. you get degree.

"Educated Idiots" I have a Master's Degree. Trust me......anyone willing to pay & turn in their work will receive a Degree. Then they keep telling you to go back to college MORE! Wonder why? Hmmm

I don't think a college degree is even that cool, and I have one.

Or, as C.S. Lewis put it,

Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.”

In 2020 a graduate from University of Texas at Arlington's engineering school hired by Lockheed could not define torque. This defines higher education.

I did online school for my Bachelor's degree at a decent university. One thing I learned is that a majority of my classmates were complete fucking idiots. A degree doesn't mean shit.

I've been tasked with fully staffing departments about 8 times and I always prefer self-taught self-starters over college grads. I want people who can learn and grow not people who show-up with a head full of bullshit nonsense.

College education doesn’t mean your educated all u did was study for exams to pass a test so you can get a job

A college degree does NOT mean you are educated.

Educated basically is indoctrinated now.

There has never before been a time in history where the correlation between being educated, and having a degree, was smaller. Some of the most well-informed educated people I've ever met, have no degree.

Where degrees make a difference in peoples lives is related to their social opportunities. Formal education is the real American class system.

Colleges now are credential mills. Education has nothing to do with it.

It depends, even if you have a degree, you may not be educated. (Gender studies, Philosophy, etc)

College degrees these days are overpriced and many are completely useless, others are worse than useless as they misinform and leave students believing wrong information.

Being Educated doesn’t not make you educated. You teach a bunch of opinions as facts without recognizing counter-arguments does not make you educated.

There are allot of educated idiots that can't even unclog a toilet after a mean dues. I wouldn't trust them to run a damn thing. I'll trust a well rounded person over a piece of paper every day.

More likely to be an indoctrinated fool than educated.

Disagree.

Morals are ever shifting decision making tools.

the left uses morals for all of their decisions and look what has happened.

PRINCIPLES is what is needed to make proper, consistent decisions.

morals are weak emotionally manipulated decision making tools
