Much respect to him!
$200,000? Where on earth did you go to college? In Florida, junior college costs about $3,000 a year and state university is about $6,000. Even law school didnāt cost me that kind of money.
Average cost for state universities is 100k+ and private nearing what he stated at 200+.
Well, yāall need to do whatever weāre doing in Florida. My college statistics are accurate because I verified before typing. I did junior college before going to university for junior/senior years. If a kid commutes from home, does freshman/sophomore years at juco, then state u for junior/senior years, the cost would be in the ballpark of $30K (thatās including textbooks and fees) in Florida. Maybe in other states itās astronomically higher.
Yeah, I took a similar route and would advise others of the non-silverspoon variety to do the same, but unfortunately there are plenty of folk going the route of paying for the on-campus regular university path, and in those cases theyāre entering the workforce heavily behind the eight-ball of debt. If it was a given that was my only option (assuming no scholarships, grants, or juco) I would go into the service or a skilled trade rather than start with that sort of albatross around my neck.Well, yāall need to do whatever weāre doing in Florida.

I think twenty/thirty years ago, the thought process was everyone needed a college degree if they wanted to have a decent shot in life. I really donāt think that mentality still exists as much today. Colleges have gotten a reputation as being liberal conveyor belts, not to mention the cost vs reward is no longer seen as practical for many with non-specialized degrees. If a kid can spend a few months or just a year in an apprenticeship or in tech school and make good money, thereās really no point in getting a bachelorās degree. Of course, there are plenty of careers that require a college degree and then graduate education, but as Iāve said before, even for my job a law degree is preferable, but not required.
Pretty much agree, though Iād quibble a little about the degree of alleged detrimental impact of the liberal penchant in colleges today vs my experience. No doubt thereās a lot of woke ideology in the humanities comparatively speaking, but that stuff aināt affecting the periodic chart nor the Pythagorean theorem or engineering requirements that lead to high paying jobs.
That's pretty accurate. If you want an example of this kind of woke "thinking" pervading the sciences (not withstanding evolutionary biology) look at how far medical science has gone off the rails with a whole faction of medical practitioners thinking that gender reassignment "therapies" are appropriate for children.
Your viewpoint (and my originally stated one) is unequivocally correct. Woke has permeated STEM, and even mathematics isnāt immune. Thatās the reason the governor of Florida had multiple math books eliminated from the public school system in our state. California is (in)famous for its āwoke math,ā and itās 100% in the university system, because it originated there before sliding down to the younger students: https://californiaglobe.com/fr/california-refuses-to-give-up-woke-math/amp/Don't be so sure.

Remember Francis Schaeffer's "line of despair." Ideas that have their start in philosophy (or, more generally, the humanities) find their way in to art, then music and the theatre and so forth, then the general world, and finallly into theology.
I don't think he was 100% right about that. The particular expression of Marxism underlying DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity) that you're calling "woke ideology" got to the church earlier--but now it's penetrated the STEM fields, which you would think were immune (what does multiplication have to do with race?) But we're just on the wrong side of Schaeffer's line, so we still think in absolutes.
