How many of the workers in those plants were making fun of the "nerds" and "smart ones" in high school?
There are idiots all through middle and high school who make fun of and belittle the value of education and those who pursue it.
What does that person call the nerd in 20 years...........boss.
I've seen so many piss away their educational opportunities in high school while laughing at and ridiculing any student willing to work hard and take their education seriously.

When I was a child I spoke as a child , I understood as a child , I thought as a child . When I became a man I put away those childish things . These were grown men and women , managers of a multimillion dollar facility. They acted , talked and believed they were better because of their education than men and women who had held the same jobs in some cases longer than they had been speaking in complete sentences . When I hired in , the average seniority for floor workers there was 23 years .

It’s not all black and white. I know a guy who dropped out of school in the 8th grade and is now a millionaire with his own heating and air business. I know people with bachelor degrees making less than $40k a year. While getting the most education is advisable and should open up more opportunities there’s never a guarantee of anything. All manufacturing jobs aren’t created equal either. Some people can make close to 6 figures with OT which will be as much if not more than some of the salary “educated” positions. I don’t view someone as being smarter or dumber than the next guy based on how long they did or didn’t go to school.

When do you think those who pissed away their high school educations stopped belittling and making fun of the people who valued education? I'm guessing a few years into reality.
I think the plant managers you describe are morons who lack true self-worth and confidence......just as do the people who pissed away their education. The two group have more in common than either knows.

It’s funny there was a sign that said end qualified immunity. Most associate that when a Leo has to take a life.
it’s homicide or justified homocide as it is with every other person.

The problem is the vast majority of people in college do not take their education seriously.

Anyone who takes out a loan to get any degree in the Liberal Arts or Humanities is not a serious person.

I laugh at anybody who thinks college is a status symbol. Information is too freely available to make broad characterizations about your knowledge or intelligence because you spent $100k or more to have people who made the same mistake as you tell you about stuff in a place where freedom of ideas is not allowed.

And this is coming from someone with a PhD and two parents who are teachers and PhDs also.

I agree with all of that.
Education makes one more educated, not a direct correlation with intelligence but there is a strong positive correlation.

Some of the people I worked with didn’t have a chance to go to college , or finish high school , they went back later in life to get their GED just to accomplish something they had to stop to help support their families. We had more than one person who could barely write anything more than his name . I personally had to witness for him a few times to make his mark as he called it on paperwork he had to sign . He always was one of the most knowledgeable machine operators I’ve ever seen but he had been operating the same machines for 20 years . Not employed for 20 but operating the same machines .

Getting close to time for Trump to pull a Lincoln and we need to take it all the way when we do go into Washington state because Oregon and California will follow. The rest of the leftist states will get the message.

He doesn't need to activate the guard. There are many a citizens that would love to do it.

wrong approach....let it go and with any luck all 3 of those states will eventually vote to secede from the union just like the CSA did...but instead of POTUS invading to prevent it, he lets them secede without resistance and wallah, there you have 74 blue Electoral college votes gone...win-win for everyone

I can say there are not 0.5% of the students at GT who do not take their education seriously.

 

[LouderVol]

All I've been saying from the beginning is that the right wing media is intentionally blowing it WAY OUT OF PROPORTION, and many of you willingly jump in head first.
As usual.

Armed protestors wanting to open their businesses occupy a government building, target of their anger, for an afternoon and you were flipping out. This was legal.

Armed protestors wanting their anarchist manifesto and demands met occupy a couple city blocks, not the target of their anger, for more than a week now, and you are over here laughing it away. This is definitely not legal. Add in the danger of blocking streets as was established in Michigan as also wrong.

Your level of credulousness is suspicious. It's almost like the assumed party in the exchange matters to you more than the subject itself.

I get that. I have total admiration for anyone who works hard and makes the best of their situation.
What I hate are the people who feel superior to or belittle others; be it clueless high school deadbeats or ignorant educational elitists. There are more in the first category but their window of opportunity to be a turd closes much more quickly and then they become the biggest complainers about the second category.

What? Please find one post I made about the armed protesters wanting to open a business. I'm pretty sure I did not make one single comment.

So it's not my level of credulousness that is suspicious but your tendency to jump to false conclusions about my stances.

way undercounting. See management majors

The point simply being that all colleges, college degrees, and college students are not equal.
I've long believed far to many students are going to college.

That may be true for percentage of students serious about getting their degree. Especially in the merit based fields.

That is absolutely not the case when it comes to their liberal education. I've worked with students from a wide variety of colleges. Most members of this politics forum would debate circles around 99% of undergraduates in current events, history, and philosophy.

There isn't anything wrong with that. But the attitude that college graduates have that allows them to just categorize anyone who doesn't share their teeny tiny sliver of a worldview as an uneducated peasant is just laughable. Maybe that used to be true, but those days are simply over. There is nothing on a college campus outside of some very niche graduate courses and labs that can't be learned for free online.

 

[TNVOLNAVY]

That’s a good point . As I understand it a news channel 4 reporter is spreading it. I could be wrong not very social media savvy.

It looks like they are planning an extended stay. We'll see if Lee really has any balls or is just another Republicuck. The mayor of Nashville is definitely a pink hatter.

Agreed I must say some of my most satisfying moments have come watching a kid ( engineer) that they hire fresh out of school arguing with an operator that’s worked that specific job as long as he’s been alive , about his new design or redesign that will work when the operator is telling him it won’t . They almost always went with the engineers and they always ( to my recollection) put it back the way it was before . Lol I’ve seen these guys that didn’t finish the 8th grade jump up and run to their machine because they heard it make a different sound than normal and knew what was about to happen before it did . These were extremely large machines ( about the size of a double wide trailer ) the control panels were huge with over 100 controls on them . That always amazed me .

I completely agree . I’m in the Mike Rowe comer on that subject .

 

[KB5252]

To each their own. I have personally never seen this.

At my prior employer I was in charge of a team of about 50 people. My manager, whenever she couldn't win a discussion with facts and data, would always resort to the old, "well in college we learn that blank and blank and if you'd have taken those courses you might better understand". She took online courses and literally those arguments she made had absolutely zero to do with the subject.

That is my only real experience with anything like that but it does happen. I had people reporting to me who had multiple degrees, some of them very bright but many were not sharp at all. It made me wonder what higher education really means. I guess you only get what you put into it but that is true for most aspects of life.

I've worked with a few guys like that, with what I'm assuming was un-diagnosed dyslexia. One guy about 60 had amazing coping mechanisms that must have been exhausting, but actually kept just about everyone from catching on. I knew he wanted a machine operator job in another department and he'd never apply because you had to fill out the application again. One night I brought a couple of blank applications to lunch and filled one in for him. They promoted him immediately. The only downside for me was that he made pretty high voltage moonshine in his free time and after that I was kept in a steady supply.

I’ve help fill out several forms with the ones I was talking about earlier . They literally couldn’t read or write but knew their machine front to back and they very seldom missed a beat . The amount of knowledge they learned over the years just from absorbing everything they could about their jobs was amazing . This was in the 90s I was really surprised at the lack of basic reading and writing a few had .( I actually didn’t believe it at first ,( I thought it was a joke of some kind ) as I got more into the workings of the union and working with them personally I understood why they didn’t have that education. They had been working to support their families since they were kids really . It’s I sad story in one way but every one of them were happy people and loved what they were doing . It was never from
a position of victimhood , it was just something they need a little help with from time to time .

I had a driver that worked for us for years and I never knew he couldn't read. Only way we found out was when he had to get a security clearance to work on an airport, he couldn't fill out the paperwork.
