A society that only rewards MBAs, software engineers, and investment bankers can’t exist. Your “solution” fails to acknowledge we’re all dependent on the “uneducated” and “bad” jobs you’re implicitly shitting on and expecting everyone to wave a magic wand and free themselves from. Who’s picking up your trash in your myopic utopia?

They'll yell that from the rooftops and then, with no sense of irony at all, complain about not being able to hire any help...

You know… It’s an odd person who sees education as something that can only be gained in a college degree. Gotta wonder where the licensed electrician learned their craft. I suppose the carpenters in your area just fumble around till the house stops falling over. Impossible to “learn” a job huh…. Even the fella who empties your trash received an education on how to do it. But sure, MBAs…

Your criticism of my specific comment might reflect on your education as you’re missing the context and thus misinterpreting my statement. Read it again in the context of the thread and maybe reconsider your reactive reply.

What context did you mean when you explicitly and clearly said >Your “solution” fails to acknowledge we’re all dependent on the “uneducated” and “bad” jobs you’re implicitly shitting on

What uneducated job are you referring to beyond the garbage collector you mentioned?

You appear to be attacking my comment when it’s in response to the person shitting on those jobs. Maybe I’m in fact misreading you but if you’re implying that I’m considering those jobs uneducated or bad you’re missing something.

You clearly assume education means MBA, software engineering and investment banking. By your own words, education is only derived through college degrees not on the job training. But sure, I missed something. Have a great day!

WTF are you talking about? Yes you are definitely missing something and letting your own cognitive blindness cause you to project your oddly derived meaning into my statement. You struggle with reading comprehension it seems.

LOL. Gotta love people who cannot clearly express their points and then blame everyone else for not “getting it”. Good night.

Nice projection. I wasn't gonna butt in but you clearly missed the point and couldn't even catch it when it hit you in the chest.

I missed the point that Jax went off on quotes he made up. Yeah… Must have.

My man, there’s more to education than formal degrees. Try again.

Good luck with that windmill!

Nah, dude creates a scenario with fake quotes he made up and attributed to the other guy. Then tries to turn it around and say you don’t understand. BS. Dude is a choad who trolls.

Except that doesn't happen. There tons of opportunity out there you just have to have the gumption to train for it. Vermont is incredibly generous with in-state tuition aids and access to great educational resources. They're all not limited to a college degree either there are plenty of certification programs.

It certainly isn't waving a magic wand and takes some work and sacrifice, however if you fall into a certain socio-economic bracket you can and most likely will qualify for aid.

Also success isn't limited to artisans like you claim. Instead if you can work as a team and do support work you can find yourself as an integral part of a successful endeavor.
