Yup.
College is a breeding ground for indoctrination that 95% walk away from with no ability to walk through a door and immediately do their job, even requiring further training to have a job where you ask "do you want fries with that?"
Trade school teaches hands on practical skills that allow you to immediately pick up your tools and perform a useful function for pay after graduation, and arguably to an extent even before.
Well my find would of been a hands on experience for a college student.
Got the college, got the education, walked through the door.........and got told by the government agency employment officer that even with all the skills, expertise, and education that I had put together for myself, they couldn't refer me to anyone who was hiring because I wasn't a YOUTH!!!!!!!. Turns out the F****** Fed**** Gov't had put out a hiring bounty on Youth. What was a Youth?? By their definition, a "Youth" is a young adult between 19 and 29 years of age, with a minimum of an under grad degree in a College/University Major; Post grad degree preferred, AND... with 10 years of hands on full time experience as well. WTF??? sez I. Yeah, sez he and it gets worse. Turns out that if you were born with b**bs, they count as additional employable points because of some ERA memorandum that also got added into the mix that set an employment ratio that did not favor men. MEH, DOUBLE BOTHER.
Yep. We are now the minority By the way, going to Nova Scotia to see family soon
Enjoy the trip, beautiful place to be when the weather's nice!
Butt whip of a week and Saturday work really sucks. We are in the process of moving to a new warehouse, going from 5K to 12K square feet, great news but we have about 8K sq ft worth of stuff, some that was accumulated over the last 30 years. Saturday started with three trips with 26' and 18' box trucks then streak off to a job site to unload a vac system for a car wash we are building.
My boss from the last shop I worked at asked if I would paint a car for him. It’s a 67 Mustang with a 68 GT500 kit. At least I think that’s what it is. I’m not a mustang guy. I’m going to paint it in 3 booth cycles as they get it ready. Not too bad a deal. They get it ready, I shoot it. Then they sand it, and I’ll polish it. Not crazy about using Chromabase and the crappy chromabase clear, but I can get it to lay down where I’m not completely embarrassed I painted it.

I don't think I commented in here when it happened, but we blew up a boat. My job is fun.
