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)
i will agree there are plenty of idiots at university. you pretty much need something beyond a simple bachelor's degree today. its pretty much like a high school degree 20-30 years ago. but those lazy fucks won't get anywhere if they don't get their shit together.
