It is tough for me to pick a starting point in demolishing the reasoning in this talk, but I figure I can start with sister Tracy Fuentes:
TF: No. It was a disappointment for me. I did work within my field for a little while, but, I didn't even need my degree for what I was doing. And my current employment has nothing to do with the field that I studied. And Brother Prince, let's not even mention the student loans that I'm still paying, and I've been out of school for over ten years now.
She is married to an ex-jock JW. She was a kinesiologist, the physical therapy side of medicine's equivalent to an oral hygeinist. She doesn't say what her current employment is, but if she is baby sitting with sister Russo or cleaning house for those same teachers sister Russo sits for, maybe that is why it is taking so long to pay back those damn loans ...
If not for her College education, she wouldn't have met her husband and she wouldn't be able to be proud of her son that she has.
Next, I have to mention brother Prince's effective use of droning repitition:
There's also lots of demands. The demands of keeping up with schoolwork and doing well on examinations can crowd out your spiritual activities. It's demanding. You have to try to maintain certain grades and things of that nature, it can be very demanding.
How do you maintain "certain grades"? By keeping up with schoolwork and doing well on examinations ... but he says this as if it is two separate things.
Higher education is very expensive in many places. It can take years of secular work to pay off student loans. So, higher education is not free, you have to pay for it and it's gonna take you some time to possibly pay off money that you've borrowed.
WTF? [*wags head at self for ever believing this sh--*]
Let's talk about higher education. What does "higher education" mean?
Yes, brother Prince. Very convincing argument: I must explain to these people what "higher education" means, thereby proving they don't need any more education.
Ungodly conduct such as binge drinking, sexual immorality is common on many University campuses.
And in many congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses, and in many neighborhoods where they go to preach ... whatever could possibly be your point, brother Prince?
TF: Well, the challenge was that my degree wasn't ... didn't qualify me for anything real specific, I wasn't able to go get a ... a real job. So, in order to be more specific within my field I needed more schooling, which I wasn't willing to do from a time standpoint, but also financially because it was getting very expensive.
In other words, "I say higher education is pointless because I was unwilling to spend the necessary time and resources to make it worthwhile for my life." She crapped out of life and blames ... herself! Please explain what the heck that has to do with higher education being pointless?
Of course if you pursue a Bachelors of Science for Kinesiology you will have to parlay that into a specialty field to make money. Duh! But there are plenty of other high-demand four-year-degree fields that she could have pursued instead.
But, all-in-all, sister Russo takes the cake. She was praised (flattered) by people who couldn't find a baby sitter that pleased them. Anyone who has ever looked for a sitter knows how tough it can be to find someone willing to care for your brat. So, sister Russo was in the right place at the right time and happened to need an ego stroking (that last isn't unusual for JWs). Because of that, she didn't need no College edumacashun ... her husband is the primary breadwinner (and no one said whether he has a degree). She can work without any promise of retirement and without benefits and teach her son (who is going to Bethel) to do the very same.
Blech! to you, sister Russo, as you strive to be nothing in this world and achieve it in a resoundingly successful way!
