I disagree....I know many folks who cheated their way through college...lazy fucks who barely passed in spite of all the partying they did during college. A plaque on the wall saying you have a college degree doesn't necessarily mean you have attained a certain level of intellect. ;)
I couldn't for the life of me run big machines like my husband does....I'm more the college type....he's a skilled laborer....he works damn hard for his money.....and knows a whole hell of alot more about running large machinery than I will ever know....he's taken dozens of courses to be able to do what he does.....and he has a union backing him. (although they haven't done a whole hell of alot this last decade or so....his dad who did the same thing made about $5 less per hour back in the 70's.....hmmm)
