I have known college "educated"...I agree. I have known college "educated" cab drives, truckers, and bartenders. I find it interesting that perhaps the most useless degree appears to be the MBA. I have known quite a few with Masters of Biz and some I would not put in charge of a sno-cone stand. College is not for everyone and often it does not really pay off anyway.

Don't get me started with Obama's <i>"a chicken in every pot"</i> approach to college education, either.
