You Don't Need No Stinkin' College Degree!!
 

Success without a college degree. It is possible and here are some people who accomplished it (at face value). :)

The irony is that the only nonwhite person (there was J-Lo, but that's a different topic) that they showcased is...wait for it...TRACY DAMN MORGAN. Yeah.

This is a reminder that A) if you're nonwhite, your best bet is to get the college degree so you can get a head start on a more leveled playing field; B) for everyone, the chances of success are greater with a college degree to avoid the basic probability of risking being a failure at life; and C) we don't know how many toilets these people had to scrub to be taken seriously, although white male privilege (among other privileges) often works without a college degree. But, most of us knew that already. :)

r**e war.



^^^ Fixed.

This has to be the most irresponsible article considering that the unemployment rate has proven the usefulness of a college degree. Even white males without a college degree are feeling the pinch as they collect their unemployment as women with college degrees continues to take all the jobs with their higher education. The pie in the sky stories are just that and shouldn't be lauded as "do it yourself" pieces.

Don't call he who shall not be named. Don't make me put you in time out!

I was absolutely shocked when I read this article. There's a thin line between just reporting the...facts and presenting a "why waste time at college" tone.

Wait...theer were facts in there?

Fixed that for you.

Yes, there were...facts in that article.

I didn't see an article anywhere - just pictures with tidbits of info next to them. Was there an article and I missed it? I tried clicking on something that looked like it could be an article, but it just linked me to a search result. ??

In your mind, vertically position the paragraphs beside each photo and you will have an article. :)

Hmm. That just doesn't seem like an article to me.

<Yawn> 3-2-1 --Mad Max will be here, shortly.

And if people actually contribute to the thread, madmax won't pose a distraction.

Apparently if you were born before you had to go to law school to be a lawyer, can invent a computer related item, are a very lucky actor or comedian or were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, you don't have to worry about going to college.

You know, Ice T was talking about this on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. He said people should be squares and get an education, that not everyone ends up like him.

And if Ice T says it, I do it, basically.

LOL. It took Ice-T a long time to become the cool actor in New Jack City and L&O SVU.
