I've seen new Engineers right out of school that thought they knew everything, and were actually a danger to themselves and others.

I've found that those with that little piece of paper (degree) are no more intelligent than those without....sometimes, no where near as smart. It's a shame Christian based colleges are so expensive. MUCH better education, with an eye towards allowing the kids to actually THINK. Novel concept, eh? I’m at the point where there should be NO publicly funded ‘institutions’.

My sister is a teacher, and I'm amazed at the things she believes. She's had one job, at the same school, her entire life, and yet pontificates to me about how The Real World is. No wonder we're "estranged". My son got tired of being force-fed this load of socialist crud when he was in high school, and would (very politely) challenge some of his teachers when they attempted to sell their "facts" to him. He must have done it the Politically Correct way, as he stood firm in his beliefs, and still got excellent grades. he's in College now, and tells me the teachers are still the same!
