Some are worth it though just because of their talent to tell a story in front of a jury. Or draft a complicated will taking into account the often archaic property laws you have in each state. It is archaic often so that lawyers and judges can keep on getting the green.

And lets not get started on the Tax Code.

How do you know you got the lowest price for the electrician?

You didnt. You were screwed by the trade guild, which is what trade guilds are supposed to do for their members. (Screwed by trade licensing laws, type 2, just like plumbers, doctors, lawyers, ...)

99% of college and university facility lean liberal

the liberal agenda promoted socialism or capitalism, claimed offensive speech was not in First Amendment free speech rights, etc.

High school kids once had an opportunity to focus on college credits business credits trade/vocational credits.

trade jobs go unfilled because e do not have a sufficient supply of trade labor.

we do have too man lawyers, accountant, indian chiefs

Personal Best Regards:

Because the coursework had to be dumbed down for them to graduate. Having black kids in class is like the mainstreaming of the retarded kids. They slow everyone else down as they TRY to catch up. In my day...in elementary school...we had a few black kids in each class. They just sat there...never said anything...never answered any questions...they were just "there". I don't know how they graduated...I didn't really care at the time.

Once demanding coursework was dumbed down so they wouldn't be totally lost all the time.

Harvard announced they will match enrollment with national demographics. That means only 25% are white males. BTW...Harvard gets 1% of their revenues from tuition...they can afford to let EVERYONE go for free...and with HALF the students minorities...many ARE going for free. I'm sure Obama did...graduating magna with his C- average and a "recomendation".

Because MANY professors never worked. They spent their entire lives in academia, living among college campuses, among the "brightest"...the 1% of minorities...thinking they're ALL like that. When the 99% live near MLK Blvd in a VERY different culture.

The "liberal" agenda is the "women's" agenda. Liberals, democrats are mostly women.

High school kids also didn't have to focus on not getting jumped by blacks, not getting robbed. The girls didn't have to worry about getting molested by some black. Times were different...they were better. Segregation...diversity...DESTROYS...ALWAYS.

Trade jobs go unfilled because the kids are all taking detectable drugs. Cannabis stays detectable for a month I hear. Kids can't pass a standard drug test.

We have too many worthless skimmers...skimming off the profits of those who do the work. That's your government...skimming off of your labor through taxes.

Picked out 2 sections of your post that I wanted to expand-

You just brought up another reason why community college is sometimes a better avenue to pursue. The teachers there are often part-time. They work in their respective profession while teaching on the side. Even many of the full-time teachers have worked in their respective professions for years before becoming teachers there. At least that is what I have seen at our local community college which is pretty highly regarded by the local universities, many of which accept their credits. I remember my son saying even at the university where he attended, the professor he learned the most from was someone who had worked in the industry before signing on to teach at the business school there.

You make a valid point, one which I had forgotten, in your second paragraph. Family members of mine who are in manufacturing say the same thing. It's not that they don't have a sufficient number of applicants, it's that so many do not pass the drug test. A lot of time is wasted on interviewing, only to that end.

Sure Abby...thanks for the comments...

But the bigger point is they push for EVERYONE to go to college...take out a loan and "become somebody"...is what they keep telling kids. So...they go into debt, fail because they can't do the work because they came from a black school where they didn't learn anything, and even IF they graduate...there are 100,000 to fill 10,000 jobs.

There ARE tests that only detect cannabis use in the last 6-12 hours...I looked it up...mouth swab...but the companies are against ALL drugs and stick with the urine tests that are coming up positive a month after ingestion.

The rest of my points are correct too Abby...especially about diversity and integration in the schools...the problems the black kids cause.

A white girl lives in CONSTANT fear in a majority black school. They get "grabbed by the pussy" in the halls. If they politely refuse a proposition from a black they are harassed and called racist until they relent.

You WON'T go to MLK Blvd and SEE how the 99% of blacks REALLY live. You WON'T go to the welfare office to SEE that it's full of Hispanics and blacks and NOT 70% white as the propaganda tells you.

Will you GO to a black school and SEE what it is REALLY like? To SEE how the innocent...well they were until going to a black school...white girls are treated. Will you ASK your grandchildren what it's REALLY like having blacks in the school?

I don't lie to you...I warn you! In 30 years America resembles Mexico II more than America. BECAUSE of shifting demographics. We've ALL seen a neighborhood change. We've seen cities change. WHY did they change? The people who live there changed. If it became filled with minorities, Hispanics and blacks it got worse...much worse.

I'm telling you what ALWAYS happens...this is NOT the first time minorities have taken over a country by becoming the majority.

Today, colleges have seemed to convince everyone that their kids need to go to college. Some kids are not and never will be college material. We do need craftsmen and tradesmen and people can do very well in those fields.

I taught at a college for 15 years and I would say that at least half of my students should never have been accepted into college. Twenty-five percent shouldn't have been allowed to graduate high school.

The education system has become a vehicle for teachers and administrators to get rich.

I worked with a kid that had a bachelor's degree in journalism. He was selling shoes in a golf store and refused to take any job that wasn't as a sports journalist.

I have two boys. One is a senior software engineer and has done very well in college and in life. The other is an auto mechanic he might make more money than his brother.

I know a guy that also has two boys. One did very well in school and graduated college with a degree in journalism. The other went to trade school and became a plumber. The plumber is 29 and just bought his own house has a fancy sports car and a motorcycle. The boy with the degree is 27 and lives at home with his parents while covering high school sports, part-time, for the local town newspaper.

Former Secretary of Education, Bill Bennett said that the Dept of Education should be abolished and that education should be the job of the states. I think that would be a good start in fixing this problem.

"Education" is also the victim of a changing demographic. America WAS 90% white...it is now 49% white...it makes a difference...it's already MADE a difference. This is NOT the same "caliber" of people as it was in the 1950s. We are doomed. America WILL fall...EVERY country before it has.

Great comment. Please encourage your grandchildren to forgo college and go to a trade school. Great careers await. Reject unions. They do nothing but hurt workers and provide money to "liberals". I wish my children had rejected college and gone into the trades doing important work like landscaping or golf course upkeep. Professions that will make America great again. Another thing. Lets privatize the police and firefighters. Another blow to the unions. Trump in 2020!

I agree with many of your points, including supporting tech schools. I do not believe, however, that teachers are getting rich. My son just got a job after 2 years of tech college making a starting salary that equals mine after 27 years of teaching in Wisconsin... perhaps other parts of the country pay better than WI...

Your post proves there really is no cure for stupid, assuming you’re of retirement age. My apologies if you’re a young man, there still is time.

Union membership still pays...at least in terms of higher wages. The typical union worker made $970 a week in 2014, compared to $763 for non-union workers, according to the latest Bureau of Labor Statistics data.Feb 24, 2015




Fewer Unions, Lower Pay for Everybody - The Atlantic


Oh, and your comment calling landscapers and golf course workers tradesmen, you haven’t a clue. They’re what’s called COMMON LABORERS. I’ll bet you never did a hard days work in your pitiful white collar life.

Not the teachers in the class room, college deans, football coaches, unions, and management. The people in the trenches always make the least, this includes benefits.
