Getting carried away. A quarter of the adult population has a bachelors degree or more. An additional third have some college or an Associates degree. So less than some places but not in the least nonexistent.

Actually has more high school graduates than Los Angeles

Yeah, your data is not comparative.

Looking at other cities, were 120 out of 150.

I know your a stan for the education here, but I’m not sure why? Empirically LV is just a service level economy with a lower education workforce and an abysmal public school and higher education system.

You do not seem to understand what you are citing. That cite has nothing to do with the education level of the adult population of Las Vegas. It attempts to define two metrics one of which shows Clark County as 120th and the other at 30th. So why do you refer only to the weaker metric? And neither deals with the education level of the adult population of Clark County.

And yes we need to do something about the education systems here. But that in no way makes the college educated minimal. Virtually everyone we deal with are college educated including doctors and lawyers. Yes there are neighborhoods on the east side where college degrees are rare. But there also some where they are standard.

Which in my opinion, contributes to why it is difficult to find anyone quality to date here (millennial population).
