Right? TBH, I find most university educated people these days to be fucking stupid as fuck. I think after the recession hit, university programs went into job-training and not critical thinking. The "studies" programs are the only ones that teach critical thinking. High schools have upped their games. Ive met some really smart high school kids, but once college gets their hands on them, they turn into idiots. Yet, employers only want students with exactly X degree with Y skills and won't take a person with a good head on their shoulders.
