"In fact, it used to be a joke if you studied at a University"

- Tony Randall

About this Quote

This quote by Tony Randall is referring to the idea that in the past, it was viewed as a joke to pursue higher education. This was likely due to the fact that college was not as accessible as it is today. It was seen as an opportunity to attend a university, and those who did were typically seen as snobbish or elitist. This quote is likely a commentary on how times have altered, and how college is now viewed as a need for many individuals. It is no longer viewed as a joke to pursue college, but rather as a way to gain understanding and abilities that will help one succeed in life. Randall's quote is a suggestion of how far we have can be found in terms of access to higher education, and how it is now seen as a valuable property.
