Actually a very interesting poll. I'm of the mindset that we have far too many "superbly educated idiots" in the world today. For a good 98% of the population I would bring back a system of apprenticeships.
In the workforce, I've noticed that those degrees seem to do nothing more then hang around. I kept waiting for them to solve problems the
proles were unable to, to organize new methods for inventory control, or simply to create some scripting shortcuts for the more menial computer tasks. But I was disappointed at the end of the day to find they hadn't moved. In fact they were so content to remain still that dust had begun to settle on them. As the schools they represent often tend to promote a socialist viewpoint I thought that a group of them would have more potential. Again I was defeated. Looking in on them, in their pompously gilt garb and the heraldic frills adorning their faces, I found that it was no different then viewing a group of peacocks transfixed to the wall.
Just realized I'm late for an appt, will continue later
