Yeah, we never had hurricanes before 1/20/2017, That *******!


No surprise you and your fellow Trumpsters are ignoring what the
climate
scientists are saying. Oh, wait...because of your highÂ* school
diploma,
coast guard training, career as an IBM whatever youÂ* did, and local
building inspector, you know more than they do. I get it.Â* And, of
course, there is yourÂ* undeniable expertise on mentalÂ* illnesses.


You have degrees in English.Â*Â* That’s it.Â*Â* Not meteorology, not mental
health, not science.Â*Â* Why do you think you are qualified to comment on
these subjects?


Harry is incapable of disputing the things I say so he dismisses me
personally flaunting a mediocre degree from a tertiary university 50
years ago.


As I have told you many times, I have no interest in debating with the
posters in rec.boats. Whatever you may think of my college degrees, at
least I have them.



Harry, I can sorta understand where you are coming from. If your level
of experience and knowledge is pretty much limited to a college degree
or two in English and "critical thinking" concepts, it's all you can
crow about (which you do often). IMO, you vastly overestimate the
value of a college degree.

I actually feel badly for new college graduates who often enter the
workforce thinking they are automatically "entitled" to a high
paying position in their first job with student loans to pay off
over the next 10 to 20 years.

Some of us also have hard won college degrees plus a lifetime of
schooling, military service, training, teaching, running businesses and
other worthwhile, mind expanding experiences. To imply that your college
degrees somehow makes you "better" or "smarter" than others while
downplaying the importance of other educational experiences only goes to
demonstrate an extremely narrow, elitist mindset or maybe even someone
who is somewhat embarrassed by their own limited relative education.

I can honestly say that spending almost 8 years of my life (part-time)
pursuing a degree was worthwhile but it pales in comparison to what I
learned and experienced in other endeavors and experiences. If I had
to do it all over again but had to choose between college and what
I've experienced and learned outside of college, I'd skip the college gig.
