No, a college degree itself doesn't prove that on an individual basis. But it does on a group basis. When I went through school, almost all the smarter kids went to college. When my kids went through school, same thing. Of course there are some exceptions, but as a general rule that is the case.
But to hear the Trump crowd all the smart college kids have been brainwashed and its the guys who stayed home and became Plumbers and Electricians......its those guys who have it all figured out. I mean, you have to be part of a cult to think like that.
But I will hand it to Trump.....he surely knows how to connect with that group. That is his superpower.
In general, individuals with higher intelligence to go to college. There is truth to that. At a group level.
Completely disagree on the middle part.
Complete agree on the last part - and I am someone with a liberal arts degree, was admitted to Brown (did not go) and have two masters. And we should applaud Plumbers, GCs, Electricians, Nurses, etc. We forgot that in the 90s and 2000s. I forgot that as an individual. Trump reminded me on the dignity of work.
Final, personal note, we have land up in Traverse City, MI (Old Mission). 10 acres, we have a vineyard, and a lot of trees. I have five Stihl chainsaws. The most "fun" I have is taking my two dogs, my cart, 3 out of 5 of my chain saws, my gas mixed 50:1, and clearing downed trees and then working with my father in law with a vertical splitter for firewood. It's hard work - it's honest work. And as rewarding as any boardroom work I do - if not more.
Trump reminded us of the dignity of the above.
