Not true, they do not have Trade school experience. Most college degrees are not worth the paper they printed on.

If you gave me a penny for my thoughts, I’d have to give you change back.

I work new construction in NYC. Hotels mostly, both union and non union. Non union jobs are becoming more prevalent here since they come in at 80% of union bid work. Illegals are flourishing in the following trades. Carpenters, electricians, laborers, plumbers, masons. These illegals come from Russia, Ireland, Poland, Central & South America. They attended trade schools and OJT in their home countries. On these construction jobs they make one third what our citizens earn with absolutely no benefits. Anyone attending trade school in this country can look forward to low wages and minimal benefits because of our politicians and our lack of will to change it. Welcome to the new world order Biker dog.

Cisco,


I think we ALL sometimes feel insecure about how smart we are.


I further feel insecure about how smart the people are in college, teaching our kids and grandkids and getting BIG bucks to do it. Some are deserving of a lot of money and some are not.


THAT is the reason that although I wish that higher education would be free to all, I think it would also be a potential financing mess, with a lot of people abusing the system. And drinking in huge profits that they don't deserve. If only things were as simple and clear as they looked when I was young.


Disclaimer; So far all college education of both generations of our descendants have been paid for by US. AND all of those descendants are gainfully employed. Look at this girl...proud? Yes! BUT if they had not attended college and were gainfully employed, I would feel the same.
