Santorum: Obama 'A Snob' For Wanting Everyone To Go To College

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

Everyone feels they HAVE to go to college, and the demand for admissions is driving up the costs.

Because everyone does need to go to college to have the best chance possible at a successful future. Obviously, there will be people out there capable of being a success without college, but these are very clearly the exception, and not the rule.

It genuinely bothers me that the GOP is continually going back to the same well of mocking education. Not the educational system, but the simple act of being educated. It's insane.

If 'college opens you up to the most possibilities', why is it that the wealthiest man is a college drop out? If that were in fact true- we would expect the wealthiest man to have went and finished college - not the case.

It may be true that college is beneficial - but certainly not for everyone, and it certainly doesn't 'open up to the best possibilities. Nonsense.

College is a long time in a period of your life that can be spent more productively than attending classes. That is if you want the absolute best outcome.

I said the exception and not the rule. Certainly there are those who did not go to college and wound up running successful businesses or having money-making ideas. But by and large, it is those with no college education that are poor; and it is those who have college education who are wealthy. There is a real correlation. A lucky few can buck the trend, but there is definitely a trend.

The people most strongly poised to capitalize on the kind of opportunities are those who graduate from college. Especially if that person aspires to be in the middle class, upper middle class, or upper class. Period.
