There is an entire INDUSTRY dedicated to the furtherance of this situation. It is the EDUCATION industry which obtains its money by hypnotizing the youth of today with the never-ending slogan, “You MUST go to College.”
The nation is overrun with degree holding young people who are capable of nothing needed by this country. In fact, on the opening day of the new school year, there are NO jobs in all to many of these fields , and there are none when you fresh faced graduate tries to enter the world.
Meanwhile, in technical, vocational high schools across the nation, work ready high school seniors are actually sought after and recruited by anxious employers.
Me, I am a 79 year old watchmaker, semi-retired and working “ONLY” 50 hour weeks and I wish I was not alone. I have my trade, but I’m sure lonely.Without the guy holding the “dirty job” this society we enjoy would come to a screeching halt.

Likewise, though ‘only’ 74.
One of my ‘quips’ is “It sure is good to see people in their mid 70’s being able to work on a daily basis. The ‘problem’ is if they HAVE to work in their mid 70’s”.
My eldest grandson had his life course set by wanting to go to a 4 year Electrician School.
Was on his way to work at 6AM couple weeks after graduation and some clown ran a light and T-Boned him.
Finally recuperating enough so he can get back on track but he sure was ‘down’ for awhile, as he was laid up and UNABLE to work at anything. With his ‘mood swings’ during his laid up period, I was afraid he was getting ‘bad habits’.
Good kid, played sports, worked after school, weekends and summers, graduated on time and had(has) a goal.
I don’t really believe in law suits but feel he should be compensated for his ‘lost time’, mainly because the woman that hit him was not only wrong, but tried to tell the cops he was drunk and ran the light. Thankfully, one of those ‘pesky’ cameras on a local business picked up the entire incident.
Funny though - but probably correct for the times - EVERYONE assumed he was ‘heading home’ from a party...It was close enough to his home that my daughter etal were on the scene in a short time.
