Whoops, sorry that slipped through the cracks.

Good for you.
>> He's an HVAC technician and TIRED of the putdowns from those getting a college degree. He usually shuts them up with that he's making close to $100,000 as a tradesman, and how much will they be making with their degrees and crushing student loans? I'm a librarian, and I KNOW just how much welders and other tradespeople are needed right now. :-/ <<
It really bothers me how people are equating college and job status with worthiness as a human being -- and concluding that most humans have no worth, or even negative worth. It's very destructive. The people with the practical skills are doing almost all of the work. Most of the white-collar jobs are just imaginary shuffle dances. It makes people very insecure to realize there's nothing holding them up except other people's expectations.
