College Is Not the Only Place to Get a Worthwhile Education

[longknife]

So says Mike Rowe, host of TV's Dirty Jobs. And, the numbers seem to indicate he's right on target.

During Ivanka Trump's op ed for FoxNews, we learn that:

Currently in our country, there are:

6.3 million unfilled job openings (the highest on record)

250,000 are in construction, of these;

427,000 are in manufacturing; and

500,000-plus are in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math)

And we're not going to fill those with graduates in Art History or Social Studies of Indigenous People, or similar stuff. We need more places like the Waukee Innovation and Learning Center in the nation's heartland.

From Ivanka Trump: 'Skill-Based Education Is Crucial' for Americans and Feedly: organize, read and share what matters to you.

The real question is how many jobs start with SJW. Apparently there are many in govt, they usually start with "diversity".

It is curious that so many people complain about the educational system but then don't just specify books. Most teachers just paraphrase mediocre books so educational institutions can sell credentials. So find and spread info about good books.

I sent think it's so much the level of education as the topic that is important.

I've got a two year technical degree in CAD. The two years of college were actually an excellent learning experience that simply having a Technical High School diploma would not have offered.

And when you do find one, they're generally Hispanic.

Construction can be a tough life but there is money there.................You can go as a helper work your butt off and learn a trade and get paid to do it........

The education is OJT.

Liberals haven't yet noticed that it's tough to find a plumber. That's because when their crappers overflow they just lap it up and convince Lord Obama has gifted them with ice cream.

People can learn much on the internet by studying while online.
