We need people that can actually do things!

“Would it be a waste of education for someone that graduates from Yale for example to become a plumber an electrician or a bricklayer? We need people that can actually do things! We have too many bosses and too few workers. More college graduates ought to become plumbers or electricians, then go home and read Shakespeare. “ Andy Rooney on 60 Minutes March 21, 2010

And how about this for an idea? How about fewer folks attending college altogether. And while we are at it, if they do attend college then let’s have them study science, engineering, logic, statistics, accounting and business so they can actually get a job when they graduate. And let’s insist they graduate in four years. And if nobody that is graduating with a specific degree from a university (say Ethnomusicology from UC Berkeley) then lets shout this from the rooftops so the next smuck doesn’t spend all of that money (much of it from taxpayers) to study things that do not create jobs.
