If by "uneducated" you mean without a college degree that is about 67% of American adults. The 8-9 million who voted for Obama in 2012 and Trump in 2016 were not called "uneducated" when they voted for Obama. This condescending attitude is what got Trump elected. Learn from your failures.
59% of Republicans Think College is Bad

And failing to learn basic skills. I had students who said they had never read a book.
Apparently you're too stupid and dishonest top comprehend the contents of your source:
Roughly eight-in-ten Republicans (79%) say professors bringing their political and social views into the classroom is a major reason why the higher education system is headed in the wrong direction (only 17% of Democrats say the same). And three-quarters of Republicans (vs. 31% of Democrats) point to too much concern about protecting students from views they might find offensive as a major reason for their views. In addition, Republicans are more likely than Democrats to say students not getting the skills they need to succeed in the workplace is a major reason why the higher education system is headed in the wrong direction (73% vs. 56%).
You are one pathetic, dumb, ignorant, lyingleftist hack.
Indeed, he doesn't even read his own thread.

And I'm the one that jaded you.
And these shit for brains wonder why there are no jobs for them. Basic grunt work that doesn't take a better education is lessening more and more.
All one has to do is look at the supposedly "educated" progressive on this board that cannot read, do simple math, understand basic economics, no clue about how the government runs and of course have "degrees" but still have to work minimum wage jobs because they learned nothing. They can however tell you left wing loony talking points all day long.

Yes, exactly. And then, just imagine a world where college "education" is free, and EVERYONE has a degree. Socialism never lifts the standard of living for anyone. It merely makes is suck equally for everyone (except the elites, of course). And they call us idiots for supporting Trump. The level of idiocy is truly astonishing.

What he means to say is, there is plenty of basic grunt work that pays quite well, but it's waaaaaay too much like work.
Exactly! God forbid anyone actually do work for a higher pay.....

Construction companies can't find good help these days, kids don't want to work. Even around here, where fracking has slowed way down, they can't find enough help to maintain the gas and oil wells drilled during the boom a few years ago. The guys that do those jobs now are forced to work 12 hour days, and are making beaucoup bucks. But again, that's too much like work for most. If I were younger, I'd jump on that shit in a heartbeat. Not that my work is a cake walk or anything, lol. My wife and I have both worked our asses off for literally decades.
Same in all the trades, including Maritime. You and your wife know what work is, outstanding!

We do, and have the aches and pains to prove it, lol. We even work hard in our spare time with our little woodland property, and heating 100% with wood. Gluttons for punishment I guess. But I love it.

I forgot to add that grunt jobs that are still around don't often pay livable wages. The ideas of illegals taking away these jobs are naive. Those jobs only exist because they have willing cheap labor. They won't suddenly appear offering Americans the job at a better pay. If they had to pay more they'd say screw it and move on to mechanization.

That is awesome! Not punishment, just a good days work!
Trades people make more than any college graduate and they have great benefits. And I mean by a very, very far margin. I have no idea where you are getting this from. Great paying jobs are not getting filled in this country by young people.
you are being a moron again. Go lay down until you feel better. Better yet have someone show you what a book looks like

What I have noticed is that posters who undoubtedly never even went to college, are generally the ones claiming to personally know that colleges are supposedly these factories of forced political indoctrination. My theory is that they watched "Red Dawn" too many times, and have visions of communist re-education camps on the mind.
I spent a total of ten years plus attending or teaching at six different colleges and universities. And I literally cannot recall a single time professors were lecturing us on Marxist theory, or imploring us to vote for lefty Democrats in any way, shape, or form. . Mostly, we just spent our class time learning and talking about math, science, art history, music, engineering, statistics.
Almost invariably, they kept their personal opinions to themselves, though I do remember when the 1991 Gulf War broke out there was one professor who didn't actually say it, but one could tell he was utterly against waging war on Iraq.
Indeed.
