amen to this good man. if I was in the position to hire for important positions, experience and common since would play in every single time before a degree that someone payed way to much for. non the less..... kuiu, where are you??Most manual labor potions require a 4 plus year apprenticeship. Which involves manual work as well as book work. Just because it isn't a college degree doesn't mean it's not worth anything. College degrees are becoming a dime a dozen. Everyone is going to college because the media makes it seem that if you don't, you can't have a career. This is a load of bull. Can a college degree help? Of course but some positions in the workforce require on the job experience more than a piece of paper that says you read a out how to do it in a book.
