Snake Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 The boy went to trade school direct from high school. Learned the plumbing trade. Worked at Bath Iron Works for the benefits while he trained under a master. He has since quit the boat builders and has his own business and is turning down jobs left and right. Don't know about his loans, but I guarandamntee he has none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additional CPU’s were paid by my employer. At this point I’m on my own with annual CPU costs. So far I’ve found grants to pick up the cost. I’m great at grant writing. Lol. And no Dr title?

Summer full time and part time jobs during school paid for my tuition. That really can’t be done today. College became a huge for profit business about 25 years ago. In the 80’s Everyone I knew could pay for their school with a summer job and drive a vehicle that was less than 10 years old. Some even had snowmobiles. Within a couple of years of graduating they had houses. some worked in union shops but others just pumped gas. But you know. “Kids today” just don’t have the work ethic to work enough hours to earn 20 grand in a summer job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you should look into the 1000 percent increase of a college edjumacation rather than pass the cost onto the actual taxpayers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
