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.

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.
