I always chuckle when guys who went into the navy instead of college and
have no B.A. or B.S. knock on the doors of the houses in the 'hood and
ask if they can pump out the septic tanks or clear out the brush. We
have a contractor for the former who comes by every couple of years to
check on the septic tanks and pump them out if needed.

A licensed septic contractor will make a whole lot more money than
most of your college friends.

You have no way of knowing that.

It is also a recession proof business.
When you gotta go, you gotta go.

I find it interesting that the college loan crisis is bigger than the
bankruptcy problems in all of the corrupt northern cities combined ...
by a factor of 10x or more. It is largely for the same reason. People
borrowed more money than the productivity they gained with the
"investment" will ever pay back.

What an interesting take. A better one might be that the entire concept
of financing higher education should be ****canned, and that higher
education should be provided at no or little cost to students who can
progress through it. You know, like Europe.
