I think education is a wonderful thing. I am still pursuing mine (though not formally). There is more than one kind of education and many hardworking people who know how to do things add much more to society than a lot of the PHD’s who contribute nothing but talk.

So true! Grandpa would have paid for college for our son, but he wanted to go to work. He works in machine shop and makes a good living with plenty of overtime.

My son had a scholarship to go to college but it was going to take him two years to get to a point to where he would be learning anything new in his field so he joined the National Guard. He as worked in a Nuclear Power Plant, a chemical company, a Gas Generated Power plant, and now he is a Project Manager for a Water Association. He has a good income and no student loans.

College was just a way for me to put off getting a real job.

I have known some people who seem to have made a career out of going to college.

Maybe I’d better stop talking!

This doesn’t apply to you Binky. You do lots of awesome things and you don’t try to make everyone else feel stupid.

I guess that’s why my granddaddy used to say “Get yo’ head outta them clouds and get to work, boy!”

We definitely must be related.

Great comic Bo That’s the truth you’ve portrayed so well Bo. There are somany over-qualified Universtiy students that can’t get the work they want in their highly qualified field of study. A lot end up cooking burgers, pumping petrol etc. Many others like myself who only finished High School have no trouble finding work.
The Dairy Factory where I work as a Storeman in the warehouse has plenty of University students packing boxes of yoghurt on the assembly line alongside people who never got highly qualified after they finished High School..

I’m not knockin’ education, just sayin’ that there is more than one kind of education. Maybe I’m bein’ defensive. If I had missed one more question in high school I wouldn’t have graduated.
