I still fail to see a contradiction.
Unless he said that 100% or all...or anything like that...would get a better job if they got an education, it is not a contradiction. And, yes, I know exactly which post you're talking about.
Fact is, if you want a better job, get an education. Life is, most of them will get sucky jobs....but they most certainly will pay more on average.
No, what he said is that people getting sucky jobs is the result of them NOT having educated themselves. The implicate assumption here is that people who DO educate themselves WON'T get sucky jobs.

But how do you know that?
I am betting that "sucky" and "better" are referring to two different things.
"Sucky" in context, based off of his other posts in this thread, means a job that they don't enjoy or that isn't as reputable as they "predicted" they would get.
"Better" means a job that pays more.
We can let him clarify this. However, we may have already tainted the "sample" via the observer effect or the halo-effect.
Edit - Wait. I just had an epiphany while reading the Star Trek forum. I think the best way to describe it is "social desirability".

Also, you have a weird fixation on male genitalia and the suckage thereof

I've been called Bowankus and Bostankus. I haven't decided which is worse, the genitalia one or the BO one. I guess it depends on if I've showered that day and am a little conscious about my hygiene.
I really don't think my High School would be any good reference to get into a university. Plus, I transferred to different high schools and it pretty much ruined my classes and placements.
I did Community College too. Sadly, there's only so much you can do there until you have to start taking your engineering classes, which can't be done at a CC

I agree for the most part that universities have indeed become profit seekers. Most top ranked schools have the highest tuition and donations from corporations in order to keep the new supply of catered workers coming to them. I personally think that college should provide a well rounded education rather than being more specialized to an industry but then it would be pretty hard to finance the costs of running the university...meh
I am a finance major and I do see people like this around. Those people usually have pretty good backgrounds as far as wealth is concerned and know people who can get them where they need to be so don't take school seriously

Actually, there are a lot of people I know right now who graduated in May with that degree who are just sitting on their ass doing nothing as of right now.
This is just a bad market for most people, but I'm doing Education so I'm good
