Also, as a graduate student at the University of Houston-Victoria, I am disturbed by this post. I am 38 years old. I went to college for the first time at the age of 32 (in 2002) because I was tired of earning 12,000 annually working as a teachers aide. And now, I am making more than 3 times the amount I was earning without a college degree. In addition, as a college student I have learned how to be patient, diligent, and self-sufficient…not how to be a dummy. I was a dummy when I was working for $7.00 an hour all the while knowing I could do better by educating myself. Still, it took hard work and determination to get an A.A. degree in 05, and then a BA in 06, and God willing, I’ll earn a Master’s of Art in Dec. 08, and the possibility to increase my income by 20%. Please tell me what’s dumb about what I have done. Please don’t discourage our children from pursuing an education. Without education we will have a shortage of professionals like teachers, nurses, doctors, engineers, lawyers, judges, technology experts, etc… We need those people as they are viable members of our country. This article is ignorantly designed, but I am willing to bet my home that the author of this terribly written article is a college graduate.
Don’t believe the hype.
Sincerely,
College Graduate
PS. Let’s stop hating each other. Obama, Clinton and/or McCain will be our next president and the true American patriot will accept the choice of the majority of the American people.
