Scott Walker's college problem

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

Imagine if Obama or Hillary dropped out of college. Likely, none of us would even know who they were in the first place.

A white Republican man like Scott Walker can "get away" with that, because reasons. Even Sarah Palin (eventually) finished her Bachelor's.

I don't think it's cuz he's a white guy based on what I've read. I think it's more because he's a conniving schemer who will do anything to be in power from what I've read (plus being in the right place at the right time for the Tea Party Revolution + heavily funded recall fight over an issue the base cares about). I'm not denying being white doesn't help, but his personality and political drive likely played a far greater influence.

Why do we not know Obama's GPA when Walker's 2.59 is common knowledge?

This is nonsense. Walker didn't graduate so it helps to know part of the reason why. You also tend to hear about it when it is lower like the case of Perry.

In addition, Obama transferred into Columbia and only spent two years there. I don't know how representative GPA would be. It's almost assured to be high though. Especially considering he continued into Harvard Law where he got magna cum laude. I haven't researched, but his graduate GPA is likely 3.75+. That's enough reason not to even bother.

Also, Ivy League!

Can we add Rand Paul to the list of those who are going to have a "college problem"?

3 years and out seems to make a good presidential candidate. Maybe I should make this my last semester.

Obviously the graduate degree helps his case some, but I don't remember this coming up in 2010 as the article mentions. So long as nothing comes up like he presented himself as have a Bachelor's to get into Duke, he will be fine

In the real world

Two prospective employees are applying for the same position.  One has a university degree, the other does not.

Both of these candidates have the experience and ability to do the job, and the prospective employer considers both candidates equally acceptable for the position.

Who do they hire?  

More likely than not, the one with the college degree.

The same could be said, to some extent, for voters (prospective employers) who are electing or "hiring" a President (prospective employee).  

The difference is that at the private employer, most do have a college degree. In the analogy of America, 67% do not have a Bachelor's. Can't find the data for the voting age population, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is a near majority. In a democracy, people like people they can relate to. That's how Bush happened.

EDIT: Found it from 2012 results. 53% of voters do not have a Bachelor's or higher.
