Quote of the Week – Mike Rowe

 

“I think a trillion dollars of student loans and a massive skills gap are precisely what happens to a society that actively promotes one form of education as the best course for the most people. I think the stigmas and stereotypes that keep so many people from pursuing a truly useful skill, begin with the mistaken belief that a four-year degree is somehow superior to all other forms of learning.”

    Common sense is still alive. I am reminded of when we started shipping jobs out of the country and we were told not to worry we would be trained to be the information and technology center of the world, I am still waitinb.

    You want a usable education? Go in the Armed Forces. I learned more about life and rules in the military than I ever learned in formalized schools. It opened more job opportunities than my peers who just went to college. Hard to believe, but most employers are looking for people with prior military skills. Student loans are part of life growth. If you can’t afford it, don’t borrow for it. Work and save till you can finance it. No free rides!

    Uh, no. If you want useful skills you can use if you decide to enlist and stay awhile, join the US Navy Seabees. Sign up for an A School in a trade you would like such as carpentry, electricians, plumbing, equipment operator etc. For those of you with little savy of math, you can even become a surveyor. All this plus a branch of the service minus all the chicken***t of being an enlisted man in any other branch. I serve in the Seabees when I went to Vietnam. I’d do it again if the need came up.

    Oren,
    Sadly the military is contracting out most of those specialties to private contractors these days!
