low-intelligence people

mainly from the college educated

What would you call going $200,000 into debt for a non-STEM degree?

College education is no sign of intelligence, it’s often the opposite.

College education, including a fair amount of STEM, is an admission fee to be considered middle-class (or higher, depending on which school you went to). Nothing more. What you actually learn in college is 100% secondary to being able to say that you went to school X (and have the connections from that school).

Gotta agree here. Only Americans think University and brains are directly correlated.

Absolutely untrue, seen that all over Europe as well.
