A University Degree
At one time, having an education mattered. In order to prove you had an education, you obtained a degree. That degree indicated certain things and had value. If you had a high school diploma, for example, that meant you had obtained a certain level of skill and knowledge in certain areas. If you had a college degree, it indicated that you had more advanced learning in various areas, including your specialty and various other general educational areas. But that was then, this is now.
Now having a college degree, a Bachelor of Science, for example, means nothing. It does not mean you have a certain level of competence in, well, anything. Instead, a college degree today means that you managed to get the federal government to take money from working, productive people and give it to “teachers” on your behalf. That’s about it. Sure, there’s a few places where a degree has actual meaning and value, but those place are few and far between.
If you want true education today, stay far, far away from any government institution. They are designed to consume money, not educate.

Public education is now nothing more than an adjunct of the Special Olympics…. no matter how poorly you perform, you’re gonna get that hug (or in this case, diploma)!
Oh so true! But I think in Special Olympics, the competitors try harder than public school students.
