Just like not everyone can properly work on boat motors....lots of people can swap parts but that doesn't make them a mechanic right? There's nothing that I do that can't be done by anyone here. The things I learned through what is considered "proper training" could be learned easily on your own with a reasonable investment. That certification paper means absolutely nothing. It's nothing more than an attendance certificate.
oneshot Posted January 26, 2022 Author Posted January 26, 2022 Going to College when you’re young helps you find a Job setting on your Back Side. My wife mainly is in the office doing what her Boss needs but if there is a disaster she may be in another state sleeping in a Tent but making $50 an hour. Got a Daughter that makes good money working from home. Got one Son that tried doing what he went to school for but he started making too much the company let him go. Now he has his own business. I don’t know what he makes I know he pays out thousands when people win at BINGO. He had a deal going with St. Louis Cardinals until they didn’t come up with the money. He invest so much every month but hear him talk he is always broke. I know he went down to around $100,000 few years ago and he was devastated because he considered himself broke not knowing how he was going to continue. I worked as a Supervisor in title only because I didn’t have a degree. oneshot

And statisticians. We've got experts here on nearly everything under the sun. Predictable who thinks college is a waste eh? Nick Adams 1

FishnDave Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 If you have the time and inclination, by all means take college classes. Are you interested in specific individual classes, or want to pursue some sort of degree? But "going to college" sounds like a full-time, on-campus, gig. I did my stint...and just like high school or middle school or elementary school...I've no desire to go back and relive it, although overall I enjoyed it all at the time.

If I screenshot and share the ads attached to this forum do I get additional warnings ? There's a particular Camel Toe ad that I've been tempted to inquire about. If you demand clean content on here then why don't you CLEAN UP THESE PERVERTED FRIGGIN' ADS ? And NO, Sorry, you can't blame it on MY internet activity. Nice try though. 😡 OAF gets PAID for them.... That's why! How much per month would you like for me to pay, so I can say whatever I want? I can Venmo Phil or send you a check. Otherwise how about cleaning up this place on YOUR END. 😉 Whaddya say?
