I can tell by your fear of education that you probably chose not to go to college.

I can tell by your not reading my comment, that you just wanted to insult me. I said I went to college... I did drop out because I was more happy working.

You do learn things in college just not necessarily the things you think you went there to learn.

That applies for literally anything you spend a lot of time doing.

Also it wasn’t the teachers who sold us on college.

It definitely depends on the teachers and the expectations for you. My classes were 30+ ACT scores(IB/AP classes), everyone was expected to go to college, teachers asked everyone where they were going, were surprised when my friend enlisted in the Army.

it was our parents and society and the colleges themselves and yes some of those people were most definitely Republican.

This is true, but predominantly I've seen the judgement from Democrats(whereas prominent Republicans have been pretty vocally anti-college). You can see the judgement in your own comment "I can tell by your fear of education"- treating college and education as synonymous. I don't fear education, I oppose "education"(being organized and systematized factory education, aka schooling). I believe public schooling is largely responsible for the crisis of depression. I believe schooling suppresses within people their sense of creativity, adventure, wonder, and curiosity. I believe Prussian schooling was designed to make obedient soldiers and docile laborers. I respect those who skipped class to pursue what they enjoyed, I wish it had been me.
