VINDICATED: New Poll Shows Americans Finally Rejecting Elite College Scam for REAL Work

A stunning new poll reveals what patriots have known all along: the liberal elite's decades-long push to shame Americans into expensive college degrees is finally crumbling as AI makes those fancy diplomas worthless.

For generations, working-class families were told their honest trades weren't good enough. Plumbers, electricians, welders, and mechanics - the backbone of America - were looked down upon by ivory tower snobs who insisted everyone needed a four-year degree to be "successful."

But now reality is hitting hard. While college graduates drown in debt working dead-end office jobs that AI can replace overnight, skilled tradesmen are making six figures and can't be outsourced to a computer program.

The Great Awakening

This shift in American attitudes comes at the perfect time under President Trump's second term, as his administration prioritizes rebuilding American manufacturing and infrastructure. Unlike the Biden regime that pushed woke gender studies degrees, Trump understands that electricians and welders - not sociology majors - built the greatest nation on earth.

"We're seeing parents finally realize that sending their kids into debt for a worthless degree was the real scam all along," said one industry analyst.

The timing couldn't be more perfect. As Trump's mass deportation efforts remove illegal workers who undercut wages, and his America First policies bring manufacturing home, skilled trades are experiencing unprecedented demand.

Meanwhile, corporate America - stuffed with overpaid college graduates producing nothing of value - is discovering that AI can do their jobs better and cheaper. But try getting a robot to fix your plumbing or wire your house.

Patriots Saw This Coming

This isn't just about economics - it's about respect for the Americans who actually make things work. For too long, coastal elites sneered at the very people who keep their lights on and their toilets running.

President Trump, who built skyscrapers before he rebuilt America, has always honored blue-collar workers. His policies are creating the conditions where honest work pays better than pushing papers in some corporate wasteland.

The question now: will this awakening lead more young Americans to choose real skills over elite indoctrination? The future of American prosperity depends on it.

Finally some common sense! Does anyone know what percentage of people are choosing trade schools over universities now? I'd love to see those numbers.

From what I've read, trade school enrollment is up about 15% over the last 3 years while some liberal arts programs are seeing big drops.

My son skipped college to become a mechanic and he's already bought his first house at 22. Meanwhile his friends are drowning in student loans. The trades are where it's at!

This is what happens when people wake up and realize these elite universities are just indoctrination centers charging premium prices for worthless degrees.

About time! I've been saying this for years - we need plumbers, electricians, and welders more than we need another sociology major with $100K in debt.

Exactly right. My nephew went to trade school and now makes more than his college friends who are still living with their parents.
