You must respect your plumbers as you would philosophers because ultimately, neither theories nor pipes hold water.

Our oldest grandson finished all the requirements to graduate from high school a year ahead of time. He is a bright kid so his school counselors all advised him to take first year courses at a community college. He ignored their advice and is instead going to diesel mechanic school for free this year. He plans to move to Alaska and support himself up there for a year to establish residency. Then he plans to get a fire science degree for free at their award winning fire academy.

The kid is always working. He has been working as a mechanic in his other grandfather’s automobile shop and also changing semi-truck tires on the freeway in his fathers truck tire and repair business. He has also received awards from the volunteer fire department that he works with.

Our niece joined the air force right out of high school. She was sent to the middle east for 15 months and saved enough money that when she returned she put a down payment on a house north of Sacramento with her boy friend who went to voc school and became a welder then got a high paying job at an oil refinery. She is still working for the air force. The two of them are 23 and got married. Their friends are just starting to graduate from college mostly with useless degrees and many are loaded with debt and moving back in with their parents.

Our higher education system has been out of control for many years with expenses increasing at over twice the rate of inflation and professors and administrators getting paid exorbitant amounts of money. Grade inflation means that kids get a high GPA for substandard achievement. This causes the degrees to be worth less than they would otherwise.
