I think many have the notion that a degree will automatically pave the way for a career.

It also depends on how focused you are and how much you desire to learn. I find some people don't take the studies seriously, while a small fraction really do...and actually learn and apply themselves...

I dunno. One of my degrees is in psychology and I've done pretty darn good so far.

Are you a practicing psychologist?

That would require a phd. I don't have a phd in psychology.

But I do use my education in my writing on a daily basis. There are a lot of things I know and understand about the human psyche that plays in my writing. If I hadn't received my education, I wouldn't be as well informed.

Isn't that a bit of an oxymoron? .

An education is a life-tool. Some people let it rust away; others use it for odious purposes and others again make good use of it. You have the good common sense to belong into the latter category.

duh...except she has no common sense...i suspect it is because she has those degrees....but it also may be because of it.....in any case it didn't seem to do her any good

So, you expended 4 years of effort studying for a degree that has no connection to your employment (with no disrespect to your actual vocation).

Isn't this the point?

The education system was subverted by feminism, which declared that women should be afforded the same life opportunities as men.

Noble ideal, as most socialist ideals are.

But, feminists didn't want life opportunities that included breaking your nails, or getting grease and dirt on your Chanel's. No. Women wanted to be educated into the higher learning vocations. Let men disassemble engines, or lay bricks, or fix your plumbing. Women can be psychologists (the world needs more psychologists), welfare workers, graphic designers, doctors, dentists, lawyers (the world needs lots of lawyers) and last but by no means least....public servants. Women love public service. They actually think they are making a difference.

So, we end up with an over educated, dysfunctional society, where families are expendable on the alter of materialism, where tradespeople are harder and harder to find, and the economic gap widens every day.

So, tell me, girls.

Is this the world you wanted?

Will you leave it a better place than you found it?

[GAMBINO]

fuck yeah

[RealWoman]

Yes because having people employed is a terrible thing. Given manufacturing jobs have been shipped overseas and continue to head east, what is left exactly? Would it be better to be at home barefoot and pregnant raising children in poverty because the current economic climate is such where a single bread winner is no longer an option? Is the only acceptable non-feminist job that of a trades person?

Come on.

I'd always thought that the education system had it's beginning in actual higher learning rather than a piece of paper that gets you an interview.

IE:
Robert Oppenheimer/Stanley Milgram: Studying to learn relevant things VS Jamie Dimon/Richard Fuld Studying to see how fast you can lose a billion dollars and not pay any penalty.

Which has more value?

[RealWoman]

Part of the problem is people are getting educations for the paper rather than for the want of learning relevant applicable things.

Or so their parents don't kick them out/make them pay rent.

Come on.

Having people employed in jobs that create NOTHING is very much a dumb idea.

When our workforce is condensed down to professionals and office monkeys, where will the money to pay them come from?

Where is the production, manufacturing, commerce and retail activity that actually generates revenue?

We have, as you rightly observed, shipped it all off to China. Why? Because of corporate greed.

These same corporations will, in the near future, ask why they cannot sell their sparkly toys, or why people aren't lining up to be gouged by their interest rates, or why their waiting rooms are empty.

Because no one has a job.

But we will all have a lawyer, and around 3 public servants per private wage earner.

And lots of politicians, radical socialist groups, capitalist cowboys, university educated economists, philosophers and bar room sages will all say they have the answer to a question that need not have been asked.

We could never have afforded 100% employment. Society does not generate enough income to do that. So, we've taxed ourselves into trying to fill in the gaps.

And we can't pay anymore.

Either the number of jobs has to be reduced, or the number of available hours. It's time to pay the piper for yet another socialist train wreck.

[RealWoman]

Socialist train wreck eh? Are socialists the one shipping off "do" jobs?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

[Hornung]

With my University Degree, I qualify for 4 of the 10 top Best Jobs. If I study hard on the Canadian Electrical Code reference book which I have on my shelf and take the exam, I qualify for the 5 of the 25 top Best Jobs.

The Best Jobs of 2012

All of our Best Jobs of 2012 are outstanding, but the top 25 make for a particularly great career choice. We’ve ranked them, comparing their projected growth to the year 2020 to their industry’s employment rate. Also contributing to a job’s overall score is its average salary, predicted job prospects, and a quantitative assessment of job satisfaction. Read more on how we ranked the Best Jobs.

No.

The socialists are the ones TAKING the jobs. In other words, using western money to build up their own economies at our expense. It is the FAILURE of their socialist society that has created a huge wage vacuum that corporations are greedily exploiting, the the detriment of their customers.

And please don't infer that I am a flag bearer for capitalism. Communism and its bastard offspring are bad policy, but capitalism is not the solution.

I'm pretty happy with this world. I earn more money than any man I know.

And I have six years of education. Two degrees and a MA. The psychology degree isn't a requirement for my line of work but the other degrees are. Others will argue that you don't need an education for my line of work but it certainly helps. The biggest and most successful people in my field all hold degrees.

I also know a woman carpenter, a female pipe fitter and a lady plumber. My brother married a girl who worked with rebar.

I've also worked several jobs in my life that were mostly male jobs.

So don't give me this crap that females don't like to get their hands dirty.

[RealWoman]

Generally speaking, women are a minority in building trades.
