I know many stupid people with BA degrees, and meanwhile I have more knowledge and real work experience. Mostly I see people deprived of Just natural common sense and experience in life.

People seem like their not living...

He is completely on the mark. My college has "open admissions" which means anyone can go. As a result half (or more)of my classmates had no business being in college. Many of them could not write or read. Because the school had no honors classes we were all stuck in the same classes. While it was nice to have class work done by midsemester I didn't learn much.

I spoke out against my college about doing this and I was banned for life.

You are not hearing what the man is saying. He is clearly stating that a BA should not be the goal for every student or most student to strive for. Murray clearly states that too many kids are going to college for BA's that they cannot achieve, and that a BA is not an end-all be-all to life and a career choice.

People are different, and he states that more people should go to college, but not for BA's. And many BA's can become 1 1/2-3 year certifications. Listen, then think.

@leapingfury go read about your reptilian conspiratorial fantasies.

Reading good books and using a labtop with internet access is all you need to get the best education in the world! Universities just kill your energy and passion by overloading you with busywork and wasting your time on frivolous bullshit.

@DamnYourReallyUgly Maybe if went to college and got an English BA, you'd learn the proper uses of "their" and "they're". Oh, and the "your" in your user name should have an "e" after it. I guess "real work experience" stops with grammar.

Murray obtained a B.A. in history from Harvard in 1965 and a Ph.D. in political science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1974.[3]

Where would Murray be without his degrees? Walmart greeter.

You also go to college to network and get to know people who will help you get a job. 80% of the jobs are found through networking.

Next time you get sick go to a home schooler or a streets smart quack to get well.

Do you know anyone without a BA who knows who Cato is?

@AndroidPolitician Yes I know, you have your explanations, I have my explanations. So how about you just put your faith in whatever human races you believe in. And I'll put my faith in whatever races I believe in. And we will see who gets disappointed in life by the choices we make. Its called freedom of decision, something that liberals dont believe in anymore.
