I was reading some education related information and followed a link to this data.

Mizzous, this should make you happy. Yeah, I know football sucked, basketball blows and baseball is going to suck but you have the below to lean on at least.

Percentage of college grads by State: 2009

MO: 39.0
FL: 36.3
GA: 35.6
SC: 35.5 (a bit surprising)
KY: 32.3
TN: 32.1
TX: 31.7
AL: 31.1
MS: 30.7 (lol, not last)
LA: 29.5 (MS laughs collectively but LA ROFL at AR so it's all good)
AR: 28.4 (apparently working at WalMarks HQ doesn't require a degree very often)

data

Why? This isn't some backwater, middle of nowhere state.

Um, it is in spots. Also, SC leads the SEC states in trailer homes as well. That's pretty backwoods.

You may want to qualify your poll with the factor that it may be harder to get a University degree in some states. i.e. the weaker students are weeded out.

If that is true, then what is Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi excuse?

It's not hard to get a degree anywhere.

Not really. Most trailer homes are near urban areas.

In spots? I mean, Missouri is backwater in spots. So is Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, etc., etc.

I also didn't know a trailer home was indicative of someone's level of education.

Not mad, just amused so please spare me the "mad" statement.

Another way to look at this is in Florida, there are 13 million people without college degrees and Mississippi, there are only 2 million

Yet another way to look at is that there are nearly 900k Floridians with a degree and just over 100k in MS.

I wasn't correlating SC's lead in trailer homes to education.

I'm not sure why SC is so fond of trailer homes and potholes.

That's impossible. If you went to college you'd know that.

You are not one of them, apparently. The numbers are actually 7.2 million for Florida and 900,000 for Mississippi. But, your point is valid.

You can apologize now or after you correct your egregious error.
