Kids are pushed to the over priced schools and often are taking courses
that are interesting and fun but offer no practical use in job
performance. College is expected but real useful education is not
always chosen.

It does seem that college is being pushed very hard but many courses are
worthless. Seems they only exists to make more professors in the field.
Bill Gates one of the richest men in the world was a college dropout. I
am not sure about some of the Apple founders, but would not surprise me
if they never finished college either. Now other companies are getting
away from college students and training them their selves.

Many would be much better off going to a trade school if they can find
one. Around here plumbers seem hard to come by. Most of the time you
have to wait several days to over a week. Had one out here the othe day
and he charges $ 110 an hour. Now Not that he makes that much to put in
his pocket, but I am sure he gets a fair portion of it as he is self
employed. I don't have a problem with whit he charges .

I put in a carport type garage. I had to wait about 4 months to get the
concrete work done. I was first told they were booked up for atleast 2
months, then the rain set in and it was about 4 months before they
could do the job.
