Unions .... are you for them in TODAY'S society?

What kind of moronic crap is this? Do you actually think before you post? Do you know and believe what you are saying?

Is this what you would tell your children? Hello Billy, don't go to college and make something of yourself. It is OK to think badly of someone who has.

 

It is not about one mans business, If it were it would have no effect on others, which this issues does.

 

All men are measured on their own merit, your nothing special.

You keep bringing up you have 20 years as a finish carpenter and cabinet maker like it's some kind of big deal.
I have 38 years in the work force, 43 if you count from the time I started working at the Archery range at the age of 12 to pay for my equipment.
Went to work in a production welding plant at the age of 17. You can take 6 away for the Marine Core but we will count my time in the Army as an Engineer. I have 4 years of drafting and enough diplomas to fill a large loose-leaf binder evean though I finnished High school in Japan while in the Core. And I'm nothing special. Makes me wounder why people like you think you work harder and are so much smarter.

If I was a betting man I would say your back in school because your non-union job closed shop and left you without a pension like so many of them do.

Got a Lady friend that works in the Insurance Industry that has made it to almost 20 years now for 2 different companys. Both time her job has been phased out. If she had a union that would have never happend.

I think if you look your major up in the Urban dictionary it will say something like "Learning to Kiss Corporate Ass both Foreign and Domestic" Just Saying

 

That is brainwashing anyway you look at it. That is brainwashing anyway you look at it. That is brainwashing anyway you look at it.That is brainwashing anyway you look at it.

The quote is nothing more than jibber jabber.

Your soup has no meat in it!

 

Sliv:

Why don't you cool it with the corporate suck ass comments......and maybe the college grads won't point out that they at least learned to spell the names of their former employers, while there.

 

If any of spent much time in a class room you experienced the " I don't need or want to be here" crowd. The "bosses son" the "jocks" and those whom were just "kicking back" for a few years till they figured out what they want to do with their life.

Since so many here are in to "March madness" an interesting thing to poll would be just how many of the players on every team use their education to further their lot in life and how many never amount to a hill of beans.

It takes very few classes to see who's paying their own way those whom are spending some one else's money.

 

Whether you realize it or not.......this does NOTHING for your argument.

Are you saying the guy paying for his own education is smarter than the guy who figured out a way to get someone else to?

 

There seems to be no shortage of your "smart guys" who goal is to have some one Else pay their way through life.

 

This is hilarious.

Put the blunt down, bro!

 

I got most of my way paid through school. I worked harder than your average student to do that, though. My mom made sacrifices. It paid off. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to go to college.

Today? Spin it however you will, Jim. But I can assure you.....there's no one paying my way to do anything. And, let's just say Barry Obama's got his his hands in my pocket as much as the next guy.

If you'd grown up where I did.....I could show you a 100 "good 'ol boys" who break their backs working low-paying jobs for every few guys who got their college degrees. I'm not saying the guys with degrees are happier...smarter.....better. They've just got a leg up. Right or wrong, they're playing the hand dealt.

If you had a 16yr old kid, wouldn't you want to give them EVERY advantage in life? Or, would you relish in watching them struggle (and blame society)?

 

Please tell me I was not an idiot to accept this...
here is the breakdown and tell me who would be the idiot.


Person from college asking me questions and my response in two different scenarios.

Scenario 1

College. Brett 1, we have a full college scholarship for you because you outworked 95% of all other students and athletes.

Brett 1. No thank you, I want to make my life harder and want to pay it all on my own so I can have $75,000 worth of debt to start of my life.

Scenario 2

College. Brett 2, we have a full college scholarship for you because you outworked 95% of all other students and athletes.

Brett 2. Thank you very much, my family really appreciates it. My father was the first person in his family in the last 100 or so years to come out of poverty, so this scholarship means that my family will continue to rise and make the most of life due to our hard work.

Which Brett would be the idiot?

 

Oh crap, I forgot to hit the Collage grad spell check button !!!! Make sure you don't point out a misspelled name like you did last time and then misspell it yourself on the next page .
Check it out Professor know it all, even people that have not been to collage know the spell check button will not work on names.

Oh, just so you know that word was misspelled on purpose, and commonly spelled like that by those of us that been there and done that, we are allowed to do "dat"
But hey, if you look hard enough you might find something else, I never use spell check, I find it's lacking in confidence.
Plus it make those of you that belive you are the chosen ones feel important to point it out and thats ok with me, as long as you dont mind me pointing out your not as smart as you think you are from time to time.

As far as the CSA statments go, It is what it is ! Plus I thought you guys would like it, you know, you can use use it on your resume. CSA, sounds important when you say it like that, I also have an associates in "CSA" and "CAK". Oh wait, here is another you can add "CLH" "Corporate Leg Humping".

Really Jeffro, don't expect anything less from people like me when you have the gall to make fun of people that are out of work.

 

Brett, real life has a few more scenarios. In my case I lacked the financial ability to take 4 years off to attend class, instead as time and money became more available I attended evening classes when I could and worked second shift when it was required. Then came a time when I became a "CLH" and let them pay for some of my classes.

Us drill press operators need all the edumacation we can get.

 

These threads are quite interesting. You really get to see who looks at the big picture and who can't see past thier own narrow mindedness.

 

Never happened.

 

DO WHAT ! You mean to tell me I, I, I, paid for your education. You take the cake, No, on second thyought you don't. There was an attorney on another site that complained about social programs and paying his taxes every day, yet was complaining about his live in girlfriends medicade papers being hard to fill out, said they were not getting married at that time due to insurance reasons.
Funny how it's a welfair program unless your on the receiving end of it

 

Sliv.....If you weren't truly ignorant, it would be fun, making fun of you. It's not that fun, though, sadly. It's just sad.

I can assure you.....none of your tax dollars went to pay for my education.

 

I expect nothing less from you. You bring nothing to the table.
You can call me names and spin it any way you want, but it don't change the fact that you got a hand up from somewhere.

Getting back on track here.
The truly ignorat ones, strip the paint off a car and then wonder why it rusts.

 

You damn right I did.

You left out the part where I told you I worked harder than most....and that my mother had made sacrifices. THOSE THINGS were my "hand up".

 

Sorry, I know Baseball is ruff.
