    Theory: College degree doesn't make you smarter. It makes you more analytical, skeptical, & cynical. More likely to question authority.

        @mattklewis No. That is not what it means. It means you are willing to delay immediate satisfaction for possible future rewards.

        @mattklewis I was cynical prior to college, but it certainly increased my analytical/problem solving skills.

        @mattklewis Isn't developing analytical skills a form of "smarter"?

        @mattklewis Had the opposite effect on me. Taught me to blindly follow professors and leaders. Not til after I got out did I become cynical.

        @mattklewis Hmmm. What about the #Gramscian march and lock-step progressivism indoctrinated by most colleges & universities?

        @mattklewis Trump supporters didn't pay attention in history class. Trump pundits (Coulter, Scarborough etc) feed off those people for $$$.

        More likely? No, complete opposite. More information exposed, some retained, inadequately equipped to process critical thought. @mattklewis

        @mattklewis There are many routes to many kinds of degrees. Not all those routes and degrees are created equal.
