It's a fact that most people with education don't have enough common sense to even pulled up their pants up without someone telling them how to do it or reading a book about it. Here is a good look at people with common sense that gave up on education and did better without it, and most of them did better without it, what do you think, http://www.collegedropoutshalloffame.com/

Some commonsense from the link you posted:
"Of the top 400 richest Americans in 2011, 27 graduated from high school but did not attend college. Another 36 were college dropouts."
Let's see--there are 63 ( 27 + 36) rich and highly successful people on that list who did NOT finish college and 337 who did.
Common sense would find a pretty strong correlation between a college education and being extremely rich and successful.
I suspect that those 337 elites can pull up their $400 Armani slacks without coaching from some dropout.
While a college education is not neccessary for success, I as a junior college drop out can appreciate the discipline that it takes to get a degree. And 63 out of 400 is not a knock against college graduates. There may be some atheletes with college degrees that need to be coached to pull up their pants, but most of the college graduates that I know have common sense as well.
While a college graduate may not be able to pull his pants up he/her can certainly most likely afford to pay someone else to do it. It is well documented that those with a higher education will make more money than those without it.
From the office of Mr. Trump:
I have a Bachelor of Science degree in economics and my net worth is around 3.2 billion dollars, without education I would have not be where I am now. I am smarter than all of you put together and have more common sense than all of you.
Mr. Trump, I am better than most of you.
Mistaking inbred academics for the average college educated person is at best a mistake, at worst a prejudice. I have an MBA in business. I've rebuilt cars. spent weeks in the mountains of the east and west alone, and built houses. Been a member of the NRA for 51 years. I can pull up my pants ($40 from Brooks Brothers) and repair plumbing.
