I see that happening (less men in college), but not that result; here in NJ many doctors are foreign men.

I understand the gravitation towards trades such as electricians, plumbers, etc. (seem more stable and “foreign-coolie resistant”), but I believe in the NYC metro area truckers aren’t paid enough to combat the high cost of living.

Learning an actual trade where you get a job or go to school for 6 to 8 years and get a liberal arts doctorate degree in ass hair weaving.

Liberals would take the second option.

I disagree.

Work ethic is no longer cultivated.

Job opportunities will be wide open for people who know how to fix and build stuff.

We are still left with a lot “untrainable” dummies.
They need express courses on how to use a broom. How to clean a bath room. For the smarter dummies ..train then semi skills..like how to use a hand truck or a hammer.

Bring back work fare!
If you are on the dole ..you do not get to sit on your can all day. You must work 20-30 hrs a week or attend dum dum training.

That’s great. My four kids all chose their own paths.

All are strong Christian’s, active in some sort of ministry, independent and debt free

I was over on Facebook(one of the few times I am not in FB jail) arguing about trannies. I clicked on her photo and up came her work history.

After years of taking “Women’s Studies” at a University, she was working as a finger nail polisher.

Me? I worked in the hard knocks of a steel shop, took welding courses at the local trade school and after 31 years in a power plant retired.

I have 2 technical college degrees. Both programs required 2 humanities classes. Thankfully that was back in the late 70’s and again the late 80’s.

When I finally went back to school in 2000 and got my BS in Civil Engineering in 2002, I only had 1 class (freshman level Lit that I took during my last semester as a SR.) that had an uber-Lib teacher. By then I was 42, and needless to say I challenged her every chance I could.
