See people facing struggles today.

@AverageSue :
I have been self-employed for over 40 years. I would say that mental attention was needed at all times.

@tntrecycling :
Here's a cookie.

@AverageSue : Is the cookie for my self-employment running a business that takes care of the community.

@tntrecycling : no, it's for you boasting you are the smart one for not going to college and everyone who has is stupid. You think your path is the only smart one whereas the ones who are educated can see both are needed.Go pound sand....

@AverageSue :
So, when an uneducated person stands up and promotes his business, it's boasting. Someone who does not have college education makes a difference in the community. School was the teacher telling me to get a job go to work.

@tntrecycling : No. But you DO get on your high horse and **** on people who take a different route. Not once has anyone disrespected your decision to go into a trade. You think those that did get an educated are stupid for doing so.

@AverageSue : Don't put words in my mouth. No, I don't think it's stupid.
Going in debt for educations sounds like a plan.

@tntrecycling : thank GOD brain surgeons, heart surgeons, surgeons, specialists, and nurses did. cops, firefighters, lawyers, etc.. if not, we would be ****ed.and don't forget the teachers!

@tntrecycling :
Look at the people on this thread who have defended their decision to further their education. You can't tell me that it wasn't what you meant. If it wasn't what you meant, perhaps choose your words better. Or not. You give out judgements like they are tic tacs.

@AverageSue :
Discussions of topics. Your opinion my opinion. Each make choices. If we can't discuss things, then what?

@tntrecycling : I choose to continue my education. Why in the world someone would think that's a bad idea is beyond me.

@PeoriaIllinoisan : What does it mean to get an education? The things you might need are something I may never witness.

@SuzyH :
@SuzyH : I guess garbage men, street sweepers waiters and waitresses along with gas station attendants, shelve stockers are under educated.

It's USUALLY implied that education vs. trade means formal education. JFC ....
