It wasn't making me rich but I was putting in my 40 hours at Target. Made $17 bucks an hour, manager was chill, some of my peoples working there were whack but it was no worries. I would walk from my Mom's house and didn't need a car payment.
Now because of all the people stealing stuff the store closed.
I lost my job but the people taking stuff aren't in trouble.
After my unemployment starts showing up on my phone, I'm gonna start taking stuff too. Why not, other people are allowed to do it.

Congratulations, now you have a wonderful opportunity to go back to school and earn your degree! Then you can earn more and live longer...
The average college graduate earns $78,000 a year compared to the $45,000 earned by someone with only a high school education.
That's a 75% premium, or more than $30,000 a year.
Also Americans who do not have a four-year college degree (about two-thirds of the adult population) were expected to live on average
about ten years less than those who do.

Damn straight - all those blue collar types who do physical work types of jobs are failures, not smart enough to go to college. They aremired in their ignorance and need to be cared for by elites who know whats best for them.

Nobody said that. You're building strawmen.
They aremired [sic] in their ignorance and need to be cared for by elites who know whats [sic] best for them.
Again...nobody said that.
All the OP said was that, statistically, a college grad earns more, and is generally healthier (likely due to better access to expensive medical care, though I could be wrong about that) than non-grads. Also, a good college exposes the student to lots of new ideas that they might otherwise never get. I've been hearing that some are dropping many general studies requirements that aren't related to declared majors. I think that is a mistake, and reflects a growing attitude that college is only for advanced training for a profession. At the time, I didn't like to have to take sociology, either. Foreign language? "I'm not leaving the US, why do I need it?" As a physics major, I thought it was dumb. Looking back on it, I'm glad they forced me to branch out and get at least some exposure to other areas of study.

They are mired in their ignorance and need to be cared for by elites who know whats best for them.I know! It's ridiculous that we well-heeled elites have to subsidize the healthcare needs and retirement funds for these poorly educated sloths.
Especially McConnell's coal miners. The nerve of them wanting extended coverage for black lung disease. They should just go off and die like good peons. Good on Mitch for denying such an extravagant request.
Send their kids to the meat packing plants. they don't need no education.

College recommendation? What to go into debt to pay a greedy White Professor? Nope.
Thus far my thought process is on 4 forums. no action on 2. some on 1. TONS of anger and agreement on the 4th one.
I hope the looting and violence spreads, and I wish there was an anonymous way to personally fund their travel to the Bluest most 401K'ish places.
But, if even one was convinced to 'get on the bus' - lovely.

But I'm serious, in one forum it's still getting some action this morning lol. I"m not instructing anyone to do anything wrong. Just saying what I'm doing and justifying it.

Not uncommon with his posts.
As I said in another thread, it is up to the speaker to be understood, not the audience to decipher what is being said.
