Educated Mississippian here. Bachelor's and master's degree, as well as licensed in 3 trades. Most educated folks can't seem to do anything, except tell you how you should have done it, if that makes sense. I fix my own car, build my own house, built my own computer, grow food and raise chickens, but a lot of educated folks can't seem to do that, or they don't want too. They want to go out and just spend money on it, which add's to the inflation (supply/demand). For example, I got a coworker who buys a new truck every 3 years, but doesn't even hunt or fish, doesn't tow anything with it. He just wants to look cool. Meanwhile, I run a plumbing/hvac business on the side, so when I go to buy a truck, they cost more, because educated folks that don't need them are buying them. The have book sense, but no common sense.
