re: #417 Desert Dog

I met many people in college that should not have been there. No offense to them, but they did not have the aptitude or temperament for that type of education. There is nothing wrong at all with learning a trade. I wish I had learned more about plumbing and electrical matters every time I have to call a repairman.

I treasure my liberal-arts education from a highly respected state university, but I know that at the time I was smart enough to know that that was what i was getting. I was learning about human history, literature, and how to see human problems in context. But at the end of the day, all that stuff can only help you understand the world. You need tradeable skills and the gumption to trade them to make a living.
