The trade guys can make a ton of money if they have the skill set to maintain steady work.

I do electrical distribution design and I’m in my 40’s.
There is way more work than can be designed until well after my death.
The economy goes up and down, but people always need electricity.

Hung a lot of paper, not all of it was useless. The problem is, the most essential college courses are non-core: Logic and how to think logically, critically, is an unassailable weapon. It is almost impossible to acquire on your own, you have to have professors who are unafraid to practically beat it into you.

Outside of college, #Lern2Code (which, ta da, requires Logic!).

Because with “minorities” they’ll have a government job waiting for them no matter if the degree is in “Black Studies.”

Corporations also need to fill their ranks with “minorities” so b/c of AA, there are always plenty of jobs “minorities,” the corporate world has created many - such as CEO of diversity and inclusion.

I try to advise all decent white males into the trades.

A neighbor of mine has two sons. Older one looked like a hippie bum and went to college, studying nonsense and tried to go into theater and music. Amounted to nothing. Younger one began copying the hippie look, didn't go to college but drifted aimlessly - he then went to Texas in hope of acquiring land and farming it. Came back after a couple years, and said he would work here to California to save up money to buy land in Texas. Began working small janitor type jobs. I told him to get a job in the trades, plenty of machine shops here where he can learn welding and metal fabrication. After months of getting nowhere, he finally cut his long hair and beard and is trying to find a career.

Problem with some kids is they have poor parenting when raised, become aimless when out of high school. Doesn't help that they have liberal parents. As a parent, you must help guide your kids to become successful.

Thanks for what you do. It is certainly a challenging environment to weed through regulations, etc...

No argument from me on that.

I just try to help who I can.

It’s my pleasure.
I enjoy it. I like how it’s foundational to our economy/society.
I switched from Chemical Engineering to EE after learning about Nikola Tesla.
Anyhow, it’s a great field if you know any younger guys.

Define “important.” Perhaps whites just see the system as it really is — a racket—while striving non-whites still think it’s an entirely legit path to the top.
