Most college grads don't have a lick of COMMON SENSE.
This is great, people coming together to disparage higher education, and accuse the schools for us dumbing down and we wonder why the US is no longer leading the way. Sigh

[quote=Hug][quote=permafrost]HA HA, I missed that class on Forgery... darn...
I got a wood class, and was standing around when a kid cut his finger off with a radial arm saw..
the instructor somehow thought I had something to do with it.. boy that threw me for a loop..
speaking of class, my wife showed me a article that North Carolina i think was requiring a class on Living?
or something in which kids learned a lot of every day tasks that seem to have gotten lost with the constant screen life so many lead.. seemed a good idea but I would say elective. not needed for every kid.. a family decision...[/quote
Perm:
You must be in the horse business. We shipped Fox Trotters to every state over a period of 25 years. Horses were good to us.[/quote]
We had many horses, up to 40 at one time, but never as a business..
It was a sorta rescue effort by my little girl.. went overboard with it..
Trotters, the closest I came to those was working for a Rail Road once called Dan Patch lines..
a famous trotter, his owner also started the RR..

I think my post sorta slipped off the deep end.. did not in any way intend to knock a college education..
But I do think that alternatives need to be given equal emphases..
And the cost is fast eliminating college for many..

Some life classes not a bad idea. Teach people about how having kids, then child support for 18 years when hormones overcome common sense.
Then the single mom predators seeking the next guy to get 18 years of support as a career option....
Funny my wife is the one that talks hard about women predators and the stupid guys being unprotected.
Teach our 17 through 21 year olds how a one time bad decision can change the course of life.
