Tell everyone in the USA that they are worthless crap without a college degree

24. Or you could ignore bad advice.

Which takes some guts, but there it is.

I got no degree, which is fine because I own the business. I no longer care if the people I employ have one either, because I have figured out that a degree is in no way predictive of job performance. There are two or three professional certifications that are much more useful and predictive of job performance in my business. Could be done in a 1 to 1-1/2 years for less than $5,000. Add hard work and a good attitude, and you could be my shining star with almost no student debt!

It's parents that are being sold the bill of goods, IMO. And managers who are either just trying to cover their ass or can't think their way out of a paper bag who only look at college grads for entry level jobs that pay under 35k. If you are a very strong student, want to be a lawyer, accountant, go into medicine or something, do a degree. Otherwise, I don't really get why anyone would spend that kind of money or time on it.

Yes, higher minimum wage. Yes, lower college cost and better student loan terms. Yes, some sort of rent control in hot markets.

You are wrong about the Wall Street thing. They are just a mindless capitalism machine, completely out of control. But they don't actually benefit from murdering the middle class since those are the people who are supposed to buy the cheap crap made by exploited labor. It is like when a mother cat eats her babies and you think WTF was that about?

And I don't think either candidate will have much luck making them actually stop. Supreme Court, people. New Supreme Court. Until then, they overturn any decent law that we actually does manage to pass.
