AOC would blush if you mentioned that to her because she’d think the secret as to how she got where she is was out.

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

Well I have looked at the Boston university degree she has and it doesn’t line up with what she says she has. Maybe it has changed in name post her degree but as of now it’s weird.
But that being said does congressman graves have a degree? I thought I have been told he doesn’t but haven’t fact checked.

Real question is how the hell did she get elected?


Because the randoms she was getting pounded by at the bar were also the 4% who turned out to vote for her.

because having a degree is just a participation trophy, it has no bearing on if you actually learned one damn thing about what you are "supposed to know about"

in her case she knows less about economics then average 4th graders do

Have you read her economic proposals?
The only person that would consider hiring her for her opinion on economics is her.

I guess I've missed the conversation about this. The MSM will protect her, but any conservative with an embellished resume would have his or her feet held to the fire.

Example - Dems & media want to see Trump's taxes, but the FACT that Obama spent about a million dollars to keep his college records (not just grades) sealed was never mentioned by the MSM.

Good points.

I was thinking an economics degree program at Boston College would be offered by the business school, like at LSU. Nope.

Silly of me to forget that economics is kissing cousins with sociology / political science at a lot of schools.

Its not hard to believe she's a college graduate. Doesn't mean she's smart.

Bro. First of all, Boston University and Boston College are two separate schools, hence my earlier post. They are unaffiliated.

Second, many schools will offer an Economics b.s. and an Economics b.a., which are related, but ultimately separate disciplines.

Probably this. You can make decent money bartending at a popular upscale bar that stays busy I know people that are in their 30s that do this and bring home 4-600 dollars a night
