Colleges love to push a stat that college graduates earn almost $1M more in their lifetimes than non-college graduates. This, however, is a true but extremely misleading statistic due to selection bias.

Yeah, but it's good marketing because the people who most readily recognize the concept of selection bias are...

...college graduates!

I figure the point of a college degree is to get a decent job (or husband).

I know this is not a popular opinion and sounds naive, but I kind of wish more people would choose to go to University because, you know, they are really smart, and they want to immerse themselves in a higher education as an intellectual experience. The reward of a higher education is the education itself.

in a perfect world... or my imaginary world

or if the University didn't charge so much
or if folks weren't motivated by $$$

High IQ or elitist or smart people are often accused of being smarmy or even pompous and looking down on others.
.
I find that to be true of hard workers, too, though. Of course, while you can affect how much you learn, you can't do a lot for how smart you are. How hard you work is thought to be completely in one's own hands.
Does that make it more okay to be judgmental though?

It's just an expectations for many here in the States. We send 65% of HS grads to college, in Europe the figure is about 35%. We send folks to college with lower than the median IQs. This is why college here has so much remedial stuff early on. In Europe, the courses are nearly all in your major, if you major in say engineering you take zero courses in language and history etc. None.

I asked my kids if they felt prepared for college and they said yes, which I took as a sign their HS did the job. (I was not prepared.) They have good jobs today because they kept learning.

1. Not always true. Let's say you're building a road and there are 6 laborers behind an asphalt paver. One of those guys is busting ass while the others are taking it easy. They all make the same money. The union says so.

2. So, yes, it is OK.

We're all judgmental. To infer it is not somehow "OK" is silly. We all are envious at times, it's not a useful trait.

I make fun of highway construction crews, when they aren'y present but the lanes are restricted. I tell the wife they hired "french crews", she chuckles. I see this more often in France than here, "invisible workers". But sure, block off lanes and then do nothing about it.

I've done OK in my career
mostly by working harder than smarter people

of course we "judge" each other
hopefully, we don't allow those judgements to do either of us harm

with something similar to confirmation bias, hard working folks probably put more value on hard work, while smart people see more value in high intelligence

It's all fun and games until you drive through a lane closure and hit a cutout in the pavement at speed. We saw the aftermath one morning. Took the front axle right off.

I've seen that too when I was an engineering inspector. Several times, including a concrete truck on the job!!

If we all agree the only Golden Egg still out there is ND, then I think Stanford should be next target of the B1GG. I would grab UW and Stanford for the next round and have all of ND's traditional rivals put the screws to them.

Stanford only. Then Miami and FSU.

ND will have no choice. The ACC is gonna implode and they are not going to the XII or SEC.

Screw UW, grab Stanford & ND

go to 18 - 9 team divisions with a 9 game schedule - one annual cross over

no rotations
