The problem is that studens were misled about their employment
opportunities and then defaulted on their government backed student
loans when they couldn't get jobs. The ITT training wasn't quite as
rigorous as the US Navy's and neither were their admission standards.



The Navy has admission standards? Beyond fogging a mirror?


You'd be surprised.


Not if you got in...

The problem with your accusations is that you have no idea what you are
talking about. The Navy has many jobs ... called "ratings" ... and each
one has a minimum score required (along with other specific
requirements), to attend the rating's particular school(s). Some
require enlistments beyond the typical 4 years due to the length of the
schools and the educational investment the government makes. Without
giving away any unnecessary details, the rating and schools "Justan"
attended required one of the highest qualifying scores. You may be
good at sentence structure, prepositional phrases and teaching bonehead
English but it's highly unlikely you would have qualified for the Navy
schools he attended.




Oh, yeah, because the "details" from 50 years ago are significant today.
I get it.


Nothing stands still like the English language.
Once you master
it, it's yours for life. That holds true for most of the union
trades as well. Rules and standards change a bit but once a brick
stacker always a brick stacker. Technology is a different story.
You can't stagnate like an English proffessor and expect to move
along or even keep a job. So you're right. You also proved that a
pedestrian skill set like you have is not that hard to come by
and is of little value, especially for bragging rights.


What the hell would you know about intellectual pursuits? Answer?
Nothing. And you don't seem to know much about the skilled trades,
either. In fact, there's little evidence here you know much about anything.

Harry, my son knows a lot about the "skilled trades" He bought his Carpenters union card and went to work the next week building scaffolding in power plants at the rate of $28-32 bucks an hr. pplus overtime, plus per dium.(about a hundred a day whether he can spend it or not)

Besides his card, the only thing else he has invested is a lunch bucket and a couple special wrenches. And when he's laid off he does a lot of fishing and gets $400.00 a week. Yes, he knows a lot about the "skilled trades"
