Question about what "uneducated" means in media

Generally, you get a more rounded education in a 4 year university than in a certificate curriculum where you just learn about your trade. But certainly people with no formal education can be well read and better educated than university graduates. My dad and my brother both have no formal higher education but are both highly intelligent well read people. One is a trumpet and the other is a liberal. Go figure.

Damn bitch, have a beer. It’s the weekend

4yr "education" today is a joke. More like expose, comprehend, dump, retain a percent of concepts. Then, get job, find out you don't know much of shite and what you've got to start learning to get good.

Sad

Degrees are like papers are for dogs.



I have 2 so I am not devaluing them because I don't have any.

Everyone who has gone to school is educated, but there are obviously different levels of education. I think there is a confusion that higher education equals intelligence which is not the case. Plenty of brilliant people have never stepped into a University and plenty of people who have degrees I would not trust them to walk my dogs.

Yep. I have someone that works for me that has a business administration degree. The only employee with a college degree. Easily my least intelligent employee.

In the MSM, uneducated means you were educated in a red state. Very simple.

With the exception of the social justice agenda, do you think that is any different than it always was? The point of a university education is to teach you how to approach problems in the field you are endeavoring to enter. If it’s a STEM field, you may get closer to what you’ll be doing in the real world. Business and law, a little more general in the Bachelor degree phase, more specific as you progress post graduate.

A university is not a technical school giving you a specific skill set that may be obsolete in less than a decade or may be valuable for a century or more. It should be giving you the skills needed to adapt to changing needs and situations. If it is, you will not likely know the specifics of your entry job when you get it but you should be equipped to learn what you need fairly quickly.

The gist of much of what I put down here was relayed to a group young engineering students back around 1981-1982. Sorry no one prepared you for that.
