The right continues its assault on higher education. Rush Limbaugh and Tiger Woods have no morals or values. I guess just making money is the measure of success for the far right. No surprise — ignorance and immorality are big plusses for Trumpettes.
More of that "skool is bad" education envy from the ignorant right.
College makes a person better. The academic environment is geared to provide a good, rounded education and socialization skills. I went to an all white, Catholic high school, not the nicest one in town, more of a blue collar one, back when they existed. Alas, my HS is long gone. But, the academic portion of college was easy for me because of how tough HS was. But, college allowed me to take a wide variety of classes and meet a lot of different people that, up till then I never had access to. I enjoyed Intercultural Communication courses, became a TA, and got a wonderful internship with the airline where I would spend 14 wonderful years working for.
Because I had a degree, I was able to go for the jobs I wanted, once I had valuable experience. College was great, it helped to prepare me for the world.
Rush dropped out of community college and got a job at a family members' radio station, he created a shtick, and became a cartoon character, and fed ignorance to the rubes. In America, that gets you money. But, he certainly was not an educated man, you could tell in the early days when he yearned to be another William F. Buckley, but even though he had the money and the limo and the house, he never had the education or the respect. Now that he is dead, no one misses him.
