Chula Vista

I was kicked out of High School at 16. I spent the next 40 years working my way slowly up the ladder and self teaching myself drafting, designing, and all other facets of our industry, and currently hold the title of Vice President of Operations and Product Development and was taking home a six figure salary prior to the sh1tstorm with my company.

If I were to look for another job I'd have to list myself as uneducated. Of course I can explain my experience but in most cases, if the job required a degree, I'd be **** out of luck even though I could probably smoke 90% of the kids today graduating with a degree.

I have a reputation to uphold and build upon. I though that would've become obvious to ya'll by now.

Makes sense in that context I guess. Just seems weird to call some one uneducated based on one trivial thing. I dunno, could just be me.

I just know there are people more educated than a person with a degree. Yet they're still considered uneducated.

But it's not one trivial thing. It's the whole higher education industry. It's massive, and millions of people are employed by it. It's not about education for the vast majority of people going to college. It's about giving people something to do. As a professor, I estimate only about 5% of my students belong at university, the engineering, chemistry, and education majors, basically. Everyone else is there because they are expected to be, because they have to fulfill some requirement on a job application. It's all part of the game, it's all part of the illusion, it's all part of the racket.

Also just noticed he added to a post that caused my confusion. Sorry Frown. I understand your point now.

And there are homeless people who don't work, yet they're not considered unemployed.
