I don't even understand what point you're trying to make.
You mean "college is useless and worthless" ?

Usually finding a job is more about who you know. Best of luck looking for something that works for you.

Nope, just that there are alternatives professions that have been poo pooed cause kids today don’t wanna do physical labor.

That's why you're always told to pick up a trade, or even go to a trade school when given the chance. I took HCaVR when I was in high school and became an appraiser while I was in the Navy.

No one realizes just how much they needed those options when they're young. But when the time comes, you'll be happy that you have it.

Yes Sir, I’ve never had to call any of the trades to my home, the savings are enumrrable.
 
College is about so much more than finding a job in a specific field. One can, on the job, learn whatever is necessary (given capacity) in months. But what one gets in four years of college is not something one gains quickly on the job or anywhere else in life. College is about growing up around people that also wanna learn and succeed. And I mean to a greater extant than a restaurant or garage has to offer.

College is about accelerated growth. That growth, in critical thinking and self awareness and other crucial skills that we all wish were common sense, gets the job and the promotions and the life one wants.

Classes don't change a person. Time does. Experience does. In some ways, college wasn't so different than the army. A concentrated learning experience. And grad school is a totally different level.

its not **** Shyte at all. The figures show the retirement rates and those coming into the skilled trades is way off, so much so that we’re the country to have a major desaster happen, we’d be hard pressed to man the jobs.

I’m talking like Yellowstone giving a hardy burp, or an EMP detonated...**** like ‘at.

Isn't it a pity that one party hamstrung unions to the point where few of them are able to sponsor apprentices anymore.
An enormous number of my extended family came up through union apprenticeship in the very trades you speak of.
In the days when unions were respected, that is how one got a start.

What days were those? You would be surprised, especially if you were born after 1980.
Yeah, this IS a GENUINE poster, go look it up for confirmation if you want:

I came up in MY chosen trade through the union, too.

Speaking of which, seeing as how you mentioned EMP, on behalf of my FATHER: You're welcome.

Yes, you read correctly. My father invented the field known as "nuclear hardening for military and mission critical civilian electronics infrastructure".

Let's find out exactly what you DO know about EMP. After all, doesn't that involve some of that "college stuff"?
My old man graduated with a degree in physics from Columbia University.

So you don't know a damn thing.
I threw the Russian poster in there because they copied most of my old man's research.
He was also one of the original negotiators at the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (S.A.L.T.) in Moscow.
