More men are abandoning college. Professor explains why this is dangerous

[ThatOwlWoman]

Agreed. Who wants a house like Sailor's cookie cuttered across the land, the kind where he belches and farts in his catsup stained wife beater while his long suffering wife
clocks in at the factory for 12 hours a day while he watches soap operas and scarfs down on can after can of cold spaghettios,
the ones with the little hot dogs in them.

Lord, that sounds exactly like my ex in-laws from decades ago. He was a grotesquely obese, ignorant-and-proud-of-it (he made it through 3rd grade, no kidding) Archie-Bunker-without-the-humanity type. His wife was 10 years younger than he, and still worked FT in a factory that made the plastic wrappers on loaves of bread. It wasn't air-conditioned and she didn't drive, so she rode the bus, sweated all day, rode the hot bus home. They had a large old brick house on the outskirts of St. Louis, with one window a/c in the living room. He would turn it on for "poor King" (their dog) if King panted, but not for his wife. She did all the cooking, cleaning, yardwork, laundry, everything. While his fat ass sat in the recliner watching TV and yelling about the "n-words are taking over" and picking at the huge sore on his fat nose that turned out (there IS a god) to be cancer. As you might have guessed, I despised him. Ugh.

that good paying blue collar jobs are hard to find without unions. I agree with Trade schools, my HVAC friend and electrician friends all live better that most of the attorneys we know

Yep, we need more a/c repair guys and a lot less lawyers. lol

Yes, sailor is a charmer! Maybe she worked to get out of the house.

TBH, I think he's just pulling your chain.

[Sailor]

And it's because of the poorly educated, we have politicians like, Trump, McConnel, Greene, Gaetz, Abbott, DeSantis, Cruz, Paul, McCarthy, Ron Johnson, Graham, and Josh Hawley, ect.?!! It's not the educated electing these lunatics?!!

Pipe down you obviously mentally deficient welfare boy. Seriously. The likes of you and Guno should be the last people on this earth discussing education and intellect. Or work for that matter.

Poopeye, you advertise your mental deficiencies every time you post something.

[Sailor]

Sorry Trumpet. I forgot to add you to that list. Just put obvious inbred in there somewhere.

Looks like you shut him up; all he can do is post an emoton and hit the repeat key.

The uneducated and undereducated will be the downfall of this country?!! Trump and the GOP brought America to it's feet before bringing it to it's knee's?!! Remember, an uneducated society is easy to manipulate?!!

Golly gee, Wally. Why do you think that is?

Trade schools are good. I took night classes at a community college for welding after considering HVAC, plumbing and electrician for my retirement job.

High ceilings, ceiling fans, window fans and that new white paint might be enough.

That's cool. I think my father passed away, maybe, in part because he didn't have avocations or hobbies when he slowed down his life's work.
I think many men do that. If you work your whole life and then suddenly someone hands you a gold watch and the phone stops ringing, what then?
Chase a golf ball, or feed the ducks? Sadly it appears many hit the keyboards in a daily fit of right wing rage. Can't be good for their vital signs.
