I managed it, but I was used to being the weird kid who didn’t fit in and who didn’t really care.  As an adult, I’ve not changed. For some professions, a university degree is necessary, unless you believe Catholics, like Amish, the Mormons, and JW’s should limit themselves ton blue collar and poorly paid manual labor?
The original universities were all Catholic.
Should we not reclaim our status as leaders of intellect and applied knowledge? 

I do, absolutely! However I have recently been pondering alternative solutions to the systemic crisis in modern education. Maybe it is more useful to work around the liberal system, and put the preponderance of our efforts into creating intermediary institutions such as farms, schools, guilds, credit unions instead? I think working through the system has been tried and has ultimately failed. Maybe working round the system will eventually engulf it? Not so sure, but was just a thought and I am open to other possibilities. 

That is exactly what I saw! Common sense really. The money making men have slid their way into the education system. Maybe it is time we started working round these liberal institutions?

Yes! One has to be extremely careful with liberalism/modernism.

One may see a parallel with the Popes that took a more lax vs. strict approach when dealing with modernists.

Pope St. Pius X, familiar with the various hardships of life having grown up dirt poor, strong in the Faith as a lion yet meek as a lamb, understood that modernists have to be expelled in order to be overcome. One does not "work with" modernists. Likewise, liberalism has to be despised and utterly rejected, not reasoned with whatsoever.

The papacies after Pope St. Pius X (Benedict XV, Pius XI, Pius XII) were unfortunately working under the delusion that one may find common ground with and tolerate modernists, and that is why we ended up with Vatican II. The Bishops at the Council were appointed by Pius XII.

Those weaker Popes thought merely issuing the occasional encyclical would be enough to stop the modernism. Many traditional Catholics inadvertently imitate this soft approach, not realizing that the reason why we are in this crisis is precisely due to this softness; being NICTH as Bishop Williamson would say.
