I dropped out of Goat Herder U. after I saw the curriculum.

So many courses in... get this.... 'Animal Husbandry' !

The sick bastards!

 

I've given my word not to go there. That was a tempting set-up though.

 

I know you did.

I was just testing your integrity, looking for a flaw in your character.

You really know how to make me miserable, don't you?

 

Is the use of Knee boots and Velcro gloves in Animal Husbandry I or II?

Sorry about that.

 

Gotta love this, we started with Kerry and ended up at marrying an animal.

 

Well the data from the Census Bureau to the Department of Labor shows the correlation between advanced education and higher earnings.

In addition I would argue that a four year degree is more important now than ever before. In the fifties and sixties one income in manufacturing could support a middle class family. Employees in the Automobile or Steel industries, without a degree, made a good living. As we have shifted to more of a High Tech economy the majority of higher paying jobs require a degree. It is unlikely that you are going to get a good job at Intel without a degree.

Even in the Service and Food industries the upper management positions require degrees. If you spend any time on Monster looking at jobs you will see that a majority of the high paying positions require a degree.

Of course there are trades that pay relatively well and some business owners that do very well without a degree, however, on average you are much better off with a Bachelor, Master or Doctorate degree compared to simply having a High School diploma. While it may take a few years to pay off school debt for the majority of people it is clearly a worthwhile investment.

 

Get out of here with that kind of logic!

Don't you know this is Bizzaro World?
