14. I don't know of anyone who was ever harmed by a college degree, in whatever field of study.

Right-wingers today believe that colleges should be vocational schools who teach MAGA values that they confuse with patriotism. My wife got a master's degree in a field that she never pursued after getting her sheepskin. She was able to use the degree to get her feet in the doors of a career that she flourished in. College proves, if nothing else, that you are disciplined enough to get up, even when you don't feel like it, go to class and produce quality work; exactly what employers want.

I only went to college for one year. I was not disciplined enough to do what was required, so I chose another path. It worked out. I supplemented my lack of higher education by reading...a lot.... As the result, I can hold my own with people with advanced degrees in most subjects.
