The trades can also wreck your body with little recourse. A big part of my safety education was centered on repetitive work injuries and MSDs. Exposure to toxins+stuff that just wrecks your body over time. Sure, some do well, but these tend to be fairly destructive in this regard, you are relying largely on your body to make the $$$, when it stops working well your choices get limited real fast.Unfortunately a lot of those jobs are gone, shipped overseas. We've been on that downward spiral for the last 30+ years, very sad. Hourly wages/Salaries have been stagnant for years. With that being said, the trades can still provide a great comfortable lifestyle. Today it seems like everyone thinks the only way to succeed in life is by having a degree, that's far from the truth. Most every homeowner will need to hire a plumber, electrician, roofer, HVAC, etc. contractor at one point in time. I still keep my general & plumbing licenses active for those occasional side jobs, I'll bill out at $150-$200 an hour depending on the difficulty of the job. Money is there to be made, just hurts a lot more 30 years later.
Pat me on the head and explain life.Being angry at a politician for promising one thing and not delivering may be the most fruitless exercise possible. All politicians lie. You think Bernie would have been able to do virtually anything that he promised? No, it doesn't work like that.
Did I say women's studies? Where did I say women's studies? You can go into a STEM field and poorly time it or choose the wrong one and end up dead in the water just like anything else. I have a friend who got her BS in Biology but went into fishery management. She can't find a job. Meanwhile generic biotech folk literally have people competing for them. This is all local to Boston.
If she wants to run for her life from fires every year I can get her placement out here.I have a friend who got her BS in Biology but went into fishery management. She can't find a job.
How dare you present data to refute something I want to be true.
You did not. You made equally specious arguments about "Art History" and "other such nonsense". The first of which, is actually addressed in that article, had you read past the headline.Did I say women's studies? Where did I say women's studies?
luminaries like joe roganHow will we know which fields of study may be forgotten forever by mankind if you don't tell us, and whose college debt deserves to be crippling for a lifetime because it is nonsense? Who will be the one who decides these things, for the sake of the economy?
She's looking specifically at zebrafish colony management. Pretty fucking specific. Zebrafish are typically used in genetics research from my understanding. I appreciate the offer and do hope that she finds work soon.If she wants to run for her life from fires every year I can get her placement out here.
Alaska is the holy land for that kind of work just fyi. If she's mobile.
Ah, ya got me, I didn't have time to read the article so I skimmed it. Opinion pieces from WAPO roughly equate to fox news opinon pieces in my book and I don't want anything to do with either of them.You did not. You made equally specious arguments about "Art History" and "other such nonsense". The first of which, is actually addressed in that article, had you read past the headline.
My point being, is exactly that you didn't say. You made some boilerplate BS arguments about fields of study that don't make sense to you, ergo they are apparently worthless. How will we know which fields of study may be forgotten forever by mankind if you don't tell us, and whose college debt deserves to be crippling for a lifetime because it is nonsense? Who will be the one who decides these things, for the sake of the economy?
Oh come on now, I've very specifically and pointedly attacked your opinions!I feel like you guys are attacking me rather than my opinions,
But what about Sallie Mae! How will she make monies!!??I find it sort of amusing (sad) that we apparently decided somewhere in the mid-1800's that a K-12 education was important enough to provide for "free" (and by 1930 apparently every state was providing it *and* making it compulsory), but the thought of K-16 education makes a certain segment of society kinda lose their gourd.
With the advancement of science/technology/etc., K-12 isn't sufficient any more. We should provide K-16 education for the entire population.
i was 3 credits away from a minor in art history*gainfully employed since graduation art history guy waves from down in the hopper
Shit, we need K-Death education. Way too many people finish school and think they are done learning. Technology evolves, ideas are refined...I'd happily continue my formal education if it wasnt financially detrimental.I find it sort of amusing (sad) that we apparently decided somewhere in the mid-1800's that a K-12 education was important enough to provide for "free" (and by 1930 apparently every state was providing it *and* making it compulsory), but the thought of K-16 education makes a certain segment of society kinda lose their gourd.

This generally worked for me in graduate school, but not undergraduate. There was no effective way to work at the same time.btw, i worked 2 part time jobs and got a scholarship and a fellowship in grad school so as to not have debt.
I had the GI bill and a job with decent pay at the MIT Instrumantation/Draper laboratories. Had to get the union there to bang on the labs so they didn't cut my pay since I had become a student...And to support myself in graduate school, I was working 6 days a week in excess of 12hrs/day.
My graduate school was comped due to being an employee, so that was just to pay rent, taxes (on school), books, eat, etc.

It's not clear to me that military service is a public service.i had the GI bill
It didn’t cover much when I was using it. Later vets got crazy 100% deals, but when I was in it was just a relatively small fixed amount/month. Still a good deal for what you put into it, but in no way sufficient to pay for school.
My idea with the GI bill is that for any vet that completes honorable tour, they should be able to go to any public institution for free. Public service, public education.

You're 100% correct. My back is shot from setting 200+lb cast iron bathtubs by myself. That usually included me dragging them in from the garage to the bathrooms (I specialized in new construction custom homes). I have many friends still in the trades making a mint, rarely swing a hammer or pick up any tools. They just now drop off material to the crew and go out bidding new jobs. Then again, some are still on their own and beaten up from it 35+ years later. I jumped out of construction some time ago to pursue another profession doing inspections. I got my real estate license about 6 years ago and dabble with that on the side too. Just closed a deal last week to help supplement paying for both kids college funds. Once I retire from my current profession (hoping 4-5 more years), I'll do real estate full time.The trades can also wreck your body with little recourse.

That's the craziest thing. These fuckers still do it. Although I guess his lawyer payout was more consistent than his contractor payout.Any lawyer dumb enough to voluntarily work for any entity related to mango moron at this point deserves not to get paid.
Kinda happy to be a desk jockey particularly after my early semi-retirement from physical activity. Sitting at a desk isn’t the healthiest thing either, and I’ve got the back/neck/shoulder pains to prove it. But every time I see a guy in boots swinging a hammer I think how fortunate I am with my career path.The trades can also wreck your body with little recourse.

I've broken my back enough times that my arms go numb after about 50min of mountain biking.I can still ride but I have had to adjust to having a very light grip on the bars.

My friend. Westy. I think it's time we talk about the magical lower body and leg focused sport of dirt bikes. You barely hold onto the damn things once you learn some technique. It's incredible.
soon you will join us
It sounds like you're in better shape handwise. I just had to come to terms with the fact that I could ride bikes with frequent breaks to shake out my arms and get the numbness to go away or I could stand on my feet all day on a dirtbike and get most of the same happys. But yeah, buying cars to deal with it sux.
