I tend to agree that some of the best job opportunities will lie in
the trades.

I know a lot of guys in skilled trades with four year college degrees.

That doesn't say much for the education then does it.

D'oh. Most of them got their degrees while working in the trades. You
know...intellectual pursuits. Close friend, a plumber, just got an M.A. in
philosophy. Apparently not everyone is satisfied ossifying mentally in SW
Florida.

And that liberal arts degree did what for his income? Is a hobby only.



and once again you display your utter ignorance...

Bull****! He is a plumber. Does not need an M.A. In philosophy. So is a
hobby degree. How much did the tax payers kick in for his degree? I take
some fun courses at the local college sometimes. Art welding, music. They
are all for my entertainment. And the tax payers help pay for my
entertainment. But since I pay my taxes unlike some, maybe it is just
using my own tax money. I do not have a problem with a plumber getting a
degree, I have a problem with you stating that it is part of his job
performance. All the plumber needs to know is **** runs downhill, and
water, depending on the pressure, will go above ground level. And he needs
to know is how to make the connections good and what the building code is
for his area.

Unlike you, the plumber in question is a thinker. I never said it was part
of his job. Part of your problem is that you don't understand what you
read. 😀
