OWS protester
But without my college degree, how will I know when I’ve risen to my level of incompetence???
Here are some others that are pretty good:
Welder
Machinist
Electrician
Oil Field worker
If I had to do it all over again, I definitely would have gotten more training to supplement the backyard mechanics my Dad taught me. I think I could have been happy working on motorcycles in a different life.
Let’s not get too loose about recommending auto mechanics to these losers. One of the few colleges that offer auto mechanics as a course of study stated that they have to reject many applicants because of poor reading and comprehension skills. The tech manuals and service information provided by the manufacturers require this. Considering that up to 60% of incoming college freshmen require remedial work, this opens to question just how many of these fleabaggers are that capable.
Learn to be a welder, and you can write you own ticket in the Houston area.... $75-100k, easy.. if you don’t mind working OT.
Pimp: whatevah your hoes can earn for ya!
I know this illegal alien in San Francisco —he’s legal now, and a great, smart guy. He came here and lived in someone’s garage for years, working as an HVAC guy.
Someone nasty got him fired for some contrived stuff —he had to strike out on his own. He succeeded, and later the company that fired him ended up having to subcontract him, but for over $150 per hour —way more than he was making when he was their employee; he ended up delighted he’d been fired.
He’s an autodidact and knows all kids of arcane stuff —he even married a daughter of Henry Kissinger at one point.
He’s rich now, actually —his house is really cool. He has lots of people working for him. He’s also a huge conservative.
He’s way smarter than about 95% of the people I knew in college, and since, also. He’s one of the few guys I know not on FR who almost ALWAYS knows more than me about anything that comes up.
He quit school in middle-school. His new wife has huge boobs —not bad.
Rockstar: $$$ millions.
I am a cabinetmaker. I still have all my fingas.
Most of the positions that are open in our current economy are blue collar jobs like machinist, equipment operator. All the people with the worthless social studies, and minority /diversity claptrap can’t find a job because they don’t know anything of value to anyone.
OWS protester= wants lots of money, doesn’t want to work, uh, hard.
Oil patch welders 75 an hour on the rigs, 85 an hour as a wildcatter.
Very long hours in very cold it very hot weather
Politician: unlimited $$$.
Having previously employed as many as 25 truckers, Union truckers make the most. Private Contractors (few and far between) do the best overall. And over the road dudes work hard and suck pondwater by mileage.
Another fine example of too much Gov’t.
I think that was covered under "plumber".
You are obviously a craftsman who listened during wood working classes.
I made a miniature operational guillotine for my class project. My Wood Working teacher gave me an “A” then. If one of my kids tried that now they would have been forced to psych counseling or something. LOL.
Thanks! I have a history degree. :)
I appreciate your encouragement. We aren’t all losers you know.
Oh, I still have all 10 fingas.....I listened in shop/wood working also. ha ha. :-D
