— Trump touts ‘golden age’ for seniors in the friendly territory of The Villages. DD: I was born way back in 1948. If I had been born later that that, because of Affirmative Action (AA) and DEI, that is, because of ever-increasing discrimination against those who share my demographics, I would not have been able to earn a bachelor’s degree, three master’s degrees, six professional certifications, and a professional license. My Democrat superiors in the federal government ever-increasingly used AA and DEI to waste my career and to get rid of me.

https://www.chicagotribune.com/2026/04/30/opinion-university-of-illinois-college-admissions/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Just applying to college has become increasingly expensive. Students hoping to strengthen their competitiveness with Advanced Placement exams and additional ACT attempts can quickly rack up hundreds of dollars in fees. Add application costs, and families can easily spend $600 or more on the process. With tutoring, costs can climb even higher. Many families earn too much for financial assistance and still struggle to cover these costs. For Illinoisans navigating this process, even modest help matters. The federal program could cover public school students, unlocking a new way to fund these costs. Support from scholarship-granting organizations could cover the extra steps students now need to distinguish themselves in the competitive college admissions environment. My sister learned the hard way that even high-achieving students struggle to stand out. I graduated from U. of I., but my sister was rejected with a higher test score and stronger extracurriculars than mine. My family didn’t have resources for extra test prep or tutoring. I was lucky to be admitted then, and I might not have been so today.)

I was a union member 1971-1980 while I worked for the Democrats who ran IRS. I should write about my critics/opponents who have used that against me the most. I would focus on those who have shouted the loudest that federal employees are overpaid because of federal unions, and that therefore, I was overpaid. In today’s dollars, my Post Office salary increased from $19.57/hour to $20.87/hour and my IRS salary increased from $56,409/year to $113,402/year. In my defense, I earned a bachelor’s degree in management in 1970, I earned an MBA in 1976, and I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979.

— Work experience predicts whether a college graduate lands a job out of school. Working during college more than doubles graduates’ odds of landing a job (81% vs 40%). DD: Yes, but your employers and the type of work experience matters the most. I worked for the Park Forest Post Office while I attended UIC 1966-1968 and NIU in 1969. That work experience did not impress potential employers when I graduated from NIU in 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management. For some, if not many, if not most, if not virtually all of my potential employers, it worked against me. Virtually all employers view federal employees negatively. Because of that, I took and passed the Federal Service Entrance Examination as a backup before I graduated.

— Is grad school the new gap year for a lackluster job market? DD: When I started my senior year at NIU in 1969, my plan was to get an MBA at NIU. But that all changed when my father died suddenly. My mother had never attended high school, she had never worked outside the home, and my brother was having problems. So I applied for a financial hardship draft deferment, accepted the only job offer that I got, moved in with them in Crete, and helped support them. Because of all that, I did not earn an MBA until I was 27 in 1976. By then, it was too late.
