What I said earlier was that you can't really get "anywhere" without a
college degree. Is that true for 100% of all people at all times in US
society? No, of course not -- some people with exceptional talent
and/or luck make millions with a HS degree or less. Is it true for most
people, though? Yes.
For every small business owner who's doing just fine without a college
degree, there are a least 3 or 4 employees who are doing just above
minimum wage without one.
Right now, my office is hiring for an Administrative Assistant position
that pays just over $30K per year. If we wanted to be selective enough
to limit our search to people with MAs, we could. We wouldn't even look
at someone without a BA or BS. There are too many applicants and no
need to accomodate those with less education.
So far as my political leanings go, you really don't know left from
right nationally, so you especially don't know it in my case. Fact is
I've voted Republican in every election (that I've voted in) since the
mid 80s, including the last one for Bush Jr.
But I'm still a liberal, of course...
If you really want to get your terms straight, both the right and left
wings of the US political spectrum are working on enlightenment liberal
principles, for the most part, and postmodernism and Derrida and all
those terrible, terrible guys are actually critiquing the western
liberal tradition.
