    Default Rosie the Riveter coming back in style for American women

    The next time there is the need for a plumber don’t be surprised if the person carrying a tool box is a woman. That is because American women are getting the message that a degree in Women’s Studies can be worthless while a plumber’s certification provides a good paying job.

    History tells us that many women can perform skilled trade jobs as well as men. When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 millions of American men volunteered for the Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines and other services. Women immediately stepped up to the plate by taking on the jobs and built tanks, airplanes, guns and whatever else was needed for the war effort.

    What do you mean Women's Studies won't get them a good job? Misogynistic jerk!
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    Not in industry. They're rather rare.
