Nah, I just feel like almost anything good for you, too much of it is poisonous. You need water to survive, but if you drink too much, you can die. The same with Iron, or Vitamin D, or really much of anything. Our society has simply been overdosing on college.
College was good when it was actually about getting people advanced education for things that you generally just can't learn with OTJ Training, but now it's just become a massive expected requirement for things that have no business requiring it, and causing tons of people to fall into large amounts of debt.
Funny story, when P&G was hiring for their new sweetener plant (or was it a fat substitute plant?) down on Spring Grover, I went down and applied for their Shipping and Recieving job they had posted. I walk in, fill out an application and handed it back in. The guy I handed it to asked if I had a college degree. I told him no and he said "Unfortunately, you need at least two years in college." I said "To drive a forklift?" and he said "Unfortunately, yes."
I just walked out dumbfounded.
What most likely happened was the guy saw I was young and thought I didn't know anything or something, lol.
