Your are correct. My mistake.
I am aware of that. It’s bullshit too.
I was a very high level corporate officer in a top 20 financial services company. Our best managers were either internally promoted front line folks, or former NCOs. If they could grasp the math required for the budget process they were golden.
The rest was teachable or experiential.
Sure the corporate finance guys required different skill sets and training. But, for the most part, your average 24 year old kid getting out of the average state school, would have been better suited for a manufacturing job. If we hadn’t sent them all away. So we send them to “school”, teach them PowerPoint, and give them “service” jobs that are scripted and automated to the point where they are not “allowed” to think on their own.
And we do all of this for $45,000 a year, including room and board.
As parents we are fools for buying into it—and allowing our kids to buy into it. And the kids will spend the next 20 years trying to figure out why it did not work the way it was promised.
I have to say, at least they were smart enough to skip college.
Luckily for me University of Florida is quite cheap for it’s quality. I also was able to use my GI Bill before having to take any loans. I’ll graduate with very little owed and an engineering degree. Out of state colleges for useless degrees are really going to bite some people in the ass.

Another CANADIAN cockroach...send his wimpy @$$ back...
Thanks, but like I said I’ve never heard of it.
How can you tell when a “comic” is washed up? He turns to politics.
Preach it brutha.
Mommy forget to change your diapers, Jim?
Is that really the guy who was so funny years ago?
Hard to believe he’s such an a-hole.

I seriously think he has mental problems. I believe he is/was medicated for depression or bipolar disorder. Throw that in with midlife crisis, failed marriage, washed up career, and possibly drugs or alcohol and you have a very bad mix.
That would definitely do it... thx.
43 years (if I make it to May 12) as a Mechanical Engineering Technician at one of the top AE firms in the U.S. Not a single college credit. Try that today.
Your resume would go right in the shredder.
Didn’t Matt Damon also drop out (of Harvard?)
Douche bag Carrey can’t handle the criticism. What a spoiled POS.
The jackass traded humor for the “malevolence” he sees in others.
I wish they’d never killed her in NCIS.
That, my young friend, is EXACTLY the way to do it. My daughter will get out with less than $6 k in debt...which is less than I incurred 30 years ago. Having no debt is like adding $10,000 to your peer group base salary.
Good for you. Good luck.
And thanks for serving.
