I especially appreciated his message at the end, that people who choose the trades don’t have to forego a liberal arts education.

I attended University for a while; but issues intervened, and I was spending most of my time in the Library, following my own curiosity, anyway. I’m grateful for what I did learn from brilliant Professors during my short time at Uni; but the most valuable education I’ve received has come from Real Life, and from my natural impulse toward ‘autodidacticism’ :-)

(One great benefit is that you don’t come out with the sort of generational ‘hive mind’ that so many young people do, today.)

I have a grandson who is somewhat lost...got a 2 yr AA...but couldn’t figured out what to do...and while a gr gr Uncle left him $ for school (under our mngmt) we told him we’d only pay if he decided what to do, which he couldn’t. He Does have a supervisor type job for the Construction company where his Dad is the Operations Manager...but always talks about finding something else...I keep trying to get him to appreciate his job...and no debt. Hopefully he’ll appreciate it more after seeing Rowe’s video. Thanks again.
