Education and Politics

I don't think respect is the term we should be tying to people who gets an education- whether it be by University or Trade School!

That's like saying one has to have a College degree to be respected in our world. Respected by whom anyway? YOU PERHAPS?

DONALD TRUMP?- Who didn't learn a fucking thing in college except grabbing women by the pussy- or how to lie- or how to cheat your way through life to get what you want?

I don't know why you have such poor disregard for Trade Schools- but you may want to realize that TRADE SCHOOLS are where most people get their certifications that actually qualifies them to do most of the technical jobs in this country!

Lots of fluff in a 4 year degree. Lot's of elective Fluff that will, along with $7.50, get you a Cafe Latte' at Starbucks today!

Knowing all the arts makes for great conversations at cocktail parties- but it's actually certifications that gets you hired and qualified to do jobs.

You know this because of your own career. I'm sure you had to hire people before! I bet knowing the job was critical in you hiring them- and knowing Shakespeare probably was not a prerequisite- even though I am a huge fan.

So we can write you down as a Trade School advocate?

I didn't finish college, but I got a lot of good out of it. Not having a degree cost me my career in the end.

But hey, it is what it is, I have no regrets now!

I made a good living for myself and my family.

For a lot of people, a trade school is a great option. There are trades where you can out earn those white-collar workers substantially, not to mention that many trades are going to leave you in better health and more fit than working in an office breathing air conditioning all day while you barely move anything but your fingers...

Well, your comment on respect for trade school degrees being the same for college degrees was laughable in your opinion.

Can you be consistent?

Dude, reading (comprehension) is fundamental.

Read the OP and read the portion of his post that I highlighted (basically the last paragraph) then read my response again.

The best thing America can do is make Community College an optional extension of High School, and it would be great if it was all paid for by local school taxes.

And Community Colleges should also offer many of the trade school coursework and IT, technical, and builder trade certifications.

But, this was your response!

It just looked politically biased to me, as if you didn't agree that we should be sending more students to trade schools because a Democrat said it and in a way that left you flabbergasted!

If we both agree that we should be making more trade schools available and encouraging more students to attend them- THEN WE DON'T DISAGREE- WE AGREE!

Sorry if you feel I didn't comprehend your meaning in your comment.

I don't think the State of Florida is a meth cooker. :dunno:

Also I had 4.15 GPA and all advanced college classes. (where applicable)

Almost made a career of Academia. Easily could have. School is easy for me.

Could have gone to UT, was accepted and courted even. My part time jobs wouldn't cut it there, though. That school takes big money.

I did what I did, and I regret nothing.

Language class. I studied Greek for two years and French for two years.

That's not spoken in America and only applies to required foreign language credit. Of which only 1 language is needed. So tell me, what is a malakka?

English is a required subject as well.
