Why Getting Higher Education is a Mistake [View all]

[Jackpine Radical]

Well, first, of course, there's that Godawful cost and the debt load you take on.

But even if it were free, higher education is still a terrible idea.

Educated people are always coming up with complexities and indecision. It sometimes just about paralyzes them into inaction while they're trying to figure out what to do.

On the other hand, take my Uncle Willie. He only made it through fifth grade, but he can come up with a simple solution for the most vexing of problems.

The Middle East is a mess? Uncle Willie has a solution: "Nuke 'em all."

Satellite data showing the polar ice caps melting? Uncle Willie has a solution. "Stop putting up them Goddam satellites."

Your car's engine light keeps coming on? Willie: "Disconnect the Goddam little bulb."

Skyrocketing unemployment? Willie: "Cut taxes for the job creators and shut off the unemployment checks. Make the lazy bastards work for a living."

See? Every one of those problems has the experts tied up in knots because of their hifalutin education. Uncle Willie, with his five years of schoolin', has a simple solution for every problem without even having to think about it.
