Sarah Palin takes to Facebook to discourage kids from attending "outrageously expensive traditional colleges." Wow! What a role model!

Palin starts out congratulating Willow for sticking it out for an entire year and "graduating" from "hair school."

Then she launches into this revisionist history of Willow's academic career before she was trundled her off to Arizona to focus on tackling the reams of research and late night studying required to learn how to properly add highlights and wax old lady's eyebrows.

Here is her advice to the youth of this country, straight from her ghostwritten Facebook page:

It’s crucially important today for young people to think about the big picture when making education decisions. And the big picture is the goal of self-reliant business opportunities based on work ethic and not entitlements. One of the reasons I aggressively encouraged vocational training opportunities as governor of Alaska is because they lead to good paying jobs and happy careers. Young people should not be pressured into assuming that a college degree is the only path to employment today. It’s not. Some college degrees obviously lead to clear professions, like those in the medical and engineering fields, but that’s not the case with many of the liberal arts degrees young people today gravitate toward either because they aren’t sure what they want to do after college or because they’ve been led to believe that college life is a sort of rite of passage for any career. That might have been the case once, but the salary and career opportunities a liberal arts education alone can get you have been dramatically limited these days. It’s so sad to see young people holding expensive college diplomas that come with no practical job opportunities. 

Great advice don't you think?

"Hay kids DON'T spend years working hard to achieve your dreams while attending one of those challenging universities! Instead give up and go to hair school. After all what do we really need more of in this country, scientists and educators, or somebody who knows how to frost your tips?

But hey, don't misunderstand! Palin is not telling you NOT to go to college, she is just saying that it is waste of time these days.

Unlike say back when this failed politician, news commentator, and parent got HER degree!

I’m not discouraging a student from getting a liberal arts degree if that is his or her dream. I am always for following your dreams. How could I be against a liberal arts education when I myself got a liberal arts degree in journalism/communications from the University of Idaho? 

Yes it only took going to five different colleges for Palin to get the degree that SHE has never been able to use to start a career! And these days it will cost twenty times as much to fail at achieving YOUR dreams, so why bother?

Here is how her ghostwriter summed it up:

Follow your dreams, (If they're not TOO hard that is!) by all means. But don’t be blind to the fact that your dreams might be achieved outside of acquiring an outrageously expensive traditional college degree. Do not be lulled into thinking that good jobs grow on trees or that the government will somehow take care of you. The bottom line is – as my dad always told me – find out what you love to do, then find out how to make a living doing it. (And if you can't do that, get somebody to do the actual work and just take credit for it!) Learning a trade can do both. No one can take those vo-tech real life skills away from you. They lead to independence, satisfaction, and a paycheck. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Yeah because if you waste all of that time in school you still might end up being such a loser, that even though you supposedly have a degree in communication, you STILL have to pay somebody to write your Facebook and Twitter posts. And you certainly don't want to grow up to be THAT pathetic now do you kids?
