  I have nothing against waiters. The world needs some waiters. I used them as an example. But yeah, a doctorate in sociology will probably improve humanity to a greater extent than being a waiter. And to be honest, even a doctorate in sociology isn’t at the top of the list like a medical doctor would be.

  And when it comes to emigration, countries want the best educated people they can get so they can improve their nation and the people’s lives that live there. Like it or not, waiters, taxi drivers, and cashiers, by and large, are not on the desirable list of professions for Western nations looking for immigrants.

    I problem with that is, in many cases, being highly educated probably means you came from money, which usually translates to some of the worst people we could possibly be sending.

      So, what’s wrong with that? If the worst people are all highly educated people, then there should soon only be the good people left that aren’t as well educated. Right?

        Ohh, nononono. You made a fatal assumption that the worst people are the ONLY bad people, and obviously that’s not true. The state is actively borking education because it needs to maintain its supply of sycophants.
