If UKC required all who post here to post their age, it would put much of this in a greater perspective.

Jim,

That's a great idea but I believe you forgot to mention your age!

I am not saying I am getting older BUT now the fire department starts to get excited when they know my birthday is coming up!

They don't even require you to use your real name. And that would be age discrimination. Y'all wouldn't listen to me just because I am a kid. Not that anyone ever pays any attention to what I say anyway.

So...are you implying only old people are smart? Is that ALL old people? Same for YOUNG people? I'm somewhere in the middle, but know idiots of all ages.

Not implying anything about intelligence or even common sense. I do think it would put some perspective on the various comments if we knew the persons age.

"Perspective", now that is a big word. I perspect that Jim is pretty old and pretty smart.

My age group a high percentage did not get the education the youngsters are provided with today.



May not had the best tools but we didn't give up easily.

Age group has nothing to do with education level, I am older than you and am 3rd generation college graduate. There are just as many high school dropouts today as 40 years ago. You don't have to be rich to get an education. Dave

I disagree, education starts at home just like many other things, it's what one is taught. If education is stressed at home and one is expected to get an education, they must likely will. We were taught the value of an education and the process continues with our children and their children all of whom are college grads. Dave

This is kinda off topic but up here in Elkhart County and next door in La Grange
County, there are a bunch of self made millionaires and the overwhelming majority of them were never educated beyound the 8th grade. They inherited nothing and were never given a thing.

And you don't have to go to college to get an education.
With that said, I went to the University of Tennessee for a year and a half in the 60's. I was 18 yrs old and fresh out of a lil country high school. You wouldn't believe the education that I got. It had nothing to do with books.

I can't count the college grads I had to teach to be my boss !! Bunch of golden boys is what they were. I made good money with a shovel and doing the jobs nobody else wanted I went hungry as a kid but my wife and kids never did and still don't.

Lol. I wonder how many folks would go to a self taught doctor or lawyer! Education is important simple as that and is available to any one that really wants it. Nothing worth having comes easy, I have known people that went to college after their kids were grown and got their degree. Dave

63.......College educations don't mean crap today. Most colleges are dumbed down so today's young folks can pass. Also most colleges today are liberal cesspools.

Self taught. Lol. It saddens me to see such a negative response to education. I am glad the population as a whole doesn't think this way. In this day of technology, you are lost without an education. Nuff said! Dave

Education or vocation. With out one of them life will be a uphill battle. These words of wisdom from a 65 year old man.

Lol. That was on a different subject. Yes, education or vocation is a must, without one or the other, life's an uphill battle. Dave
