Strip the taxpayer funding out of college education will teach what needs to be taught and not be overburdened with crap.

Even better, the best and brightest students can learn on the cutting edge without having to slog through a cesspool of students who don’t belong there.

One of those courses taken by a good fly tier, who is able to learn, could lead to an excellent part time job or full time job.

That course is the Scottish Fly Tying Course.

The Scots have the river Spey in their great country. They have created a special breed of fly fishing called Spey Fly Fishing. They have very long two handed rods called Spey Rods, special Spey lines and of course Spey Flies. A good Spey rod can cost $1,000 and the reels can be from half that cost to more than the rod.

Some fly line companies basically specialize in Spey Lines which cost a nice sum.

The best fly to use is the Spey Fly or the Scottish Fly. A fairly good Spey Fly can be bought some where 6-7 $’s. The good and beautiful/ articulated Spey flies go from about $10 per Spey fly to around $30/Spey Fly.

Below is a link to one of these flies on EBAY.

The University of Michigan used to have a class on the circus taught by a professor obsessed with the circus. When I was at Michigan State they had classes on wine tasting and flower arranging.

“an academic exploration of ritualized verbal abuse,”

That'll come in handy at Starbucks.

When I was at Berkeley in the late 80s, they had a popular course on Chocolate. It was not an easy course, though, I was told. It was heavy on the chemistry and light on the snacking.
