Wyoming's trade schools are packed with 'toolbelt generation' kids.

Liberal arts aren’t part of med school

Most doctors have a little background in some because they had a degree already

Liberal arts are part of the bachelors degree. And you need that to get your masters, then your phd.

My son is a plumber and his pay is 50 bucks an hour. Today. Right now.

$50 is cheap. Here they charge $200 surcharge to come over.

Good for him. He will never work on my property at that rate.

Yeah, but Methuselah we all know you live in a fairy tale land where everybody makes $30 an hour to watch grass grow.

Trade school jobs sometimes pay better than college grad jobs

He does mostly commercial or industrial work.

That's completely different than a household electrician. A completely different skill level required for that type of work and a different clientele. Do you not see the difference?

As a contractor that has a degree in architectural design, I understand the difference. He does some residential(not much) but he gets paid the same.

The company does maybe. They get much less. Of course you do live in Taxachusetts.

I lived in Rhode Island for a short time. That was bad enough! The second time I had base housing.

[sartre play]

Yep it's been a growling trying for a while

That's good to see a shop full of grown young men learning something useful so they can be productive and live decent lives

College today is just going for that piece of paper so you can call yourself "credentialed" "xsphurt"

What a load a horse s***

USEFUL is great not a thing wrong with it. Also advanced education is needed in many fields.
Nothing better than a happy balance in life in AMERICA.

I lived in base housing called Melville which is where JFK took his PT boat training.
