The more education you get, the overwhelmingly less likely you are to be conservative.
This is false.
You can find data at https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2016/04/26/a-wider-ideo.... In 2015, college graduates saw a higher share of those who are mostly or consistently conservative than any other strata of education. Those with a postgraduate education are more likely to be mostly or consistently conservative than those who didn't finish high school!
What IS true is the people in the middle mostly disappear among more educated adults, and overwhelmingly became liberal. Which is not surprising considering how liberal academia is.
It is also true that conservatives tend to go into some professions more than others. If you're an engineer (not "software engineer", actual engineer) or are on Wall St, you'll be surrounded by educated conservatives. If you wind up in a humanities department, you probably aren't.
That's because you learn critical thinking skills and how to recognize bullshit.
There is an irony to your having just demonstrated your own lack of critical thinking skills.
It's very unfortunate for conservatives that reality has a hard-left bent to it.
And yet the people who have to deal with the hard reality required to make your bridge not fall down, are most likely conservative. The most liberal major is women's studies.
