From Brooks:

Said information can be found in public libraries and free on Google.

I can get a bachelor degree at the library?

That’s the practice. Of course we can learn some of that stuff online. I did. A lot. To the point where I was a better software engineer than coworkers with degrees. And yet it’s the bachelors and masters degrees I got after that have opened doors. Which I was able to get because Texas paid for my education after the Navy. A program which Republicans are trying to shut down. Because too many others were getting degrees.

I’ve seen “life is not fair.” And one of the bars is that a degree is required, not for the skills, but because it separates people.
