[LWJ]

While I have a 4 year degree, and two of my three children will have one as well, it is a big lie that you need a 4 year degree to be successful.

I counsel anyone who will listen that a person needs either a career or a trade. I am very active on the local HVAC trade association.

I agree and strongly advocate for trade education. I had the benefit of taking wood shop in HS. What a gift. My dad had a full metal shop and has a Lathe obsession. I am very fortunate in that way. I look down on folks that are handicapped without being able to fix anything. My buddy just geeked out on a table I made. He made himself a similar one. I had to lend him tools because he didn't even have a F'N SANDER.

Rant over.
