There has been a few post on RP about college educations and what they can do for you in life. But do you think it is fair to say someone is unknowledgeable to be president with no college degree? Should a college degree be a requirement to become President?
Her is a little Excerpt from Howard Dean from MSNBC's Morning Joe:
DEAN: The issue here is not just an issue of dancing around the question of evolution for political reasons, the issue is how well educated is this guy? And that's a problem.
SCARBOROUGH: Are you serious?
DEAN: I am absolutely serious.
DONNY DEUTSCH: He didn't finish his senior year so he didn't get all that stuff.
SCARBOROUGH: Are you serious? You're saying he might not be qualified because he didn't finish college?
DEAN: I think there are going to be a lot of people who worry about that.
SCARBOROUGH: Do you worry about people that don't finish college?
DEAN: I worry about people being President of the United States not knowing much about the world and not knowing much about science. I worry about that.
SCARBOROUGH: Oh my God. Let's name the people that didn't finish college that have changed this world.
DEAN: Harry Truman, who was a great president, there's no question about it.
SCARBOROUGH: Did Bill Gates finish college?
DEAN: I think Bill Gates is a little different -- nobody is accusing Scott Walker of having the intellect of Bill Gates.
SCARBOROUGH: Well, nobody is accusing Scott Walker of being dumb because he didn't graduate from college except you.
DEAN: I didn't say dumb, I said unknowledgeable.
SCARBOROUGH: Well what's the difference between Scott Walker not graduating from college and Bill Gates not graduating from college?

I will use me as an example...
I went to college and got a degree in psychology with a 2.3 GPA while drinking beer and joining a fraternity. I went to class every day, but never really studied...am I the best person to solve your personal problems, marital, child, PTSD???
Got a masters in organizational leadership....do I have more drive and vision than Gates or Zuckerberg??
Education is good, go ahead and get one...but it isn't the end all, be all...
Of all the things this country needs in a president, a degree is only a small part....and is interchangeable with many other things...
I would vote for the farmer!!!

I'm almost the exact opposite. I didn't go to college, I went to the bookstore. I taught myself to program and now develop for a company listed on the S&P 500. Perseverance and sacrifice helped me get where I am and I couldn't be happier in a career that started as a hobby. I owe the traits to my father who worked until he passed and the Marine Corps which taught me I can do anything if I only try.

I wish a solid farmer would run. I'd vote for some "salt of the earth" in the oval office in a heartbeat!

You know, these college educated guys have messed things up over the last few decades. It might be time to replace Harvard with Hard-work.

This seems to be a common thread among people. "I don't like what you say, so I'm going to insult your intelligence instead of actually debating any issues."
Sad. And to me it says that the person doing this couldn't win a debate on the actual topic, so the only option is to attack the opponent.
