Have you heard her talk economics? If you had, you'd know why she was tending bar.

That actually made me laugh out loud. An appropriate joke coming from a San Antonian.

It really is astounding that basically, a college dropout, is in Congress. And not that being a dropout is bad, but being colossally stupid, and a dropout, is what is unbelievable. I still don't believe for one second that A) she has a degree and B) it's in economics.


She has a college degree, there is a debate as to whether she was really a true economics major. It is not hard to believe when you consider her equally stupid co-member of Congress Shelia Jackson Lee is a graduate of Yale and has a law degree. There seems to be no relationship between degrees received and intelligence.

getting an econ degree from BU and tending bar is a waste
Got AOC her current gig, so it couldn't have been that much of a waste.

Although I wouldn't suggest pursuing a similar career path for anyone else...

Because the patriarchy and student loans conspire to defeat the common man to uphold the tyranny of fossil fuels and evil corporations that want to enslave us and prevent us from unionizing and getting government jobs

Completely fair point. But this situation certainly comes with some qualifiers.

Is it highly doubtful that AOC would've been content with being a bartender. If so, why did she bother finishing (or even attending) college?

From what I know about her, it's fairly obvious that she is a very idealistic person who surely would understand that bartending isn't exactly the type of professional experience that would advance you very far up either the private or public-sector ladder.

Her jump from bartender to congresswoman was an utter anomaly. You can't tell me that she planned it out like that.

So the question remains...why was she bartending?

Being Hispanic and relatively attractive got AOC her current job. Not to mention espousing socialist nonsense to idiots. She could've graduated from Bronx Community College and been elected.

Just because you have a degree doesn't mean you're not a complete fricking idiot. And where else but politics can a complete fricking idiot become something?

For you younger folks. Back in the day (1960s from my first hand experience) college departments were VERY wary about who walked out with a degree from them. Granting a biology degree to a person who couldn't identify a vagina from a clam = a walking advertisement that your biology dept wasn't worth crap.

Apparently that is no longer the case.

I think somebody fricked her and she leveraged that into a political career.

Why should people not be discussing AOC, she is in the news nightly, she just cost NYC 28,000 jobs, she has significant backing in congress for her "newgreendeal". She is probably the most dangerous politician in America because so many people are not taking her seriously.

Probably made more in tips than she would have with a normal job.

Well endowed bartenders make bank.

Why was Ronald Reagan making Chuck Wagon commercials at that age?

She was probably making more money tending bar and being a party girl than slaving at an entry level econ job

I wonder if the business school at Boston College wishes she'd stop mentioning that.

Nor would I. The question is, why would one bother to attend college, and actually graduate, only to do a job that she could've had without one?

I honestly had to spell it out for you?
