Thats why the dog don't like ya!
My problem is the younger days didn't give a second thought to the older days. I'm wore out like an old Ibeam bushing.
Thats why I'm here and not somewhere doing the things I used to do on this holiday.

 

high school diploma/ voc tech certificate carpentry. electrical and gas heating certificates.

 

Yeah I saw that... Welcome back Kobi.

Circumsized or uncirsumsized! LOL. Now, I wouldn't have started a thread like that... Unless it was on the weekend.

Someone did start a shaven or unshaven thread though... Who was that?

Habibi- Good one... LOL Where the ____ have you been?
You and Kobi in the same thread... Next thing we know, Burt wil lbe back.

I know plenty of "educated" people that have absolutely no common sense.

 

an education and common sense is dangerous for the rest of us

 

High school, 4 years of trade school, and a ton of field specific training and certifications.

 

AA Degree in Odds and Ends.
That's way back when they printed our diplomas on tree bark.......

 

I just wish we could somehow separate education from indoctrination.

 

Hey all,

Still working on the new/improved ILE and hope to continue my schooling and maybe even go for my doctorate in nursing practice.

I agree that Raoul has more smarts than he makes himself out to be. I love his clever wit.

Welcome back Kobi !

 

i know plenty of people with 4 year degress who dont even know how to balance a checkbook lol. booksmart is all well and good but... gotta have the street smarts also.

 

Agreed...and nothing says you can't have both

 

Very simple---I educate---I teach people how to think and how to communicate.

Be careful---do not generalize---many of my colleagues---regardless of whether it is math, science, or the social sciences, do the same. I am not sure where you went to HS and why you had such a bad/negative experience, but I would welcome you to come to my school---my classroom or any others---and see for yourself what a true education really is.

i think there is to much emphasis on college. 4 year college for a bachelors degree is good for some but... i think trades should be focused on as well. if you tell your high school guidance counselor you want to be a plumber for example they will probably try to talk you out of it. i got friends that have degrees and are still in debt from loans and they dont even work in the field they studied.
