College these days is most definitely not for everyone. While most universites are big on cost, and even bigger on indoctrination, they don’t really offer much in the way of practical real-life skills. Kids – and their parents – may want to save themselves money, time and grief by pursing other avenues of education.

Is college a good investment? It’s getting harder and harder to make that case – for students and their parents. Today students often graduate weighed down by debt and free of practical wisdom. Before starting down the path to college, some sober, common sense reflection is more necessary than ever.

“Well, one, I would make sure that students come to college that are prepared to do college work instead of having to dumb down courses,” he said.
Dr. Williams also said that he would want students to study liberal arts while in college. “Right now kids can go through college and not get these courses,” he said. “They just have a, a mishmash of courses that they can choose and then later on they’ll get their degree.” He noted that a lack of history education makes people susceptible to ideas like abolishing the Electoral College.
He also pointed to the problem of “leftist bias” rampant on many campuses, noting that “many professors and administrators today are really the flower children of the 60’s and 70’s and they’re using their opportunity to, to indoctrinate students.”
