What about the professors? 90 % of the kids who graduate from college cannot find a job in their field of study and most cannot find a job at all. All the universities do is teach remedial math, science theory, false history, and Communist agendas. Why should anybody pay a teacher at all at this point? They should pay us to endure their babble!
