Homz Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Degrees of separation. Tell us your level of education. What does that say about a person, if anything? Can you judge a person by the degrees he/she holds? Does education add to a person's character? Does a person's level of education lead to a certain political view?

KSG_Standard Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Tell us your level of education. - 2 undergraduate degrees What does that say about a person, if anything? - To an employer, it can show willingness to complete a difficult "task", an ability to learn and a measurable level of knowledge in a subject or area of expertise. Can you judge a person by the degrees he/she holds? - What do you mean? Judge what about a person? Does education add to a person's character? - IMHO, It can. Does a person's level of education lead to a certain political view? - IMHO, No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruznolfart Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 "Formal" education would not normally include trade schools, and I couldn't answer both, dang it. Plus, if trade schools are to be included, then so should military training. Now THAT will get you some interesting results, I suspect. Anyhoo, I'm a HS grad with some college and lots of trade and military schools. I'm in there somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstMeasure Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I have a few Credits from a College Level Psychology Class I took in High School, but I didn't want to mislead with the truth, so I put High School. As far as the rest of your questions, yes and no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think it is a legitimate form of education. One of the most astounding intellects I've ever met had no higher eduction and was a tradesman. That is trade school.

Bluemoon Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I wish this country had more opportunities for apprenticeships in the trades. There is too much focus on sending kids to college--even kids that won't benefit from it. If I could do it over, I would have skipped college and learned to work with my hands--carpentry or woodworking. I am hoping that by the time my kids are in high-school we as a country would have created more opportunities/paths for those who don't want to go to college.

[/quote'] Some trades can be quite lucrative. If your a say nuclear welder it a 6 figure job. Even my trade can be 6 figures. These positions require as much as 8 to 10 years of training and class work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mick Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Eye was out after the first semester of 10th Eye was taken on by the whole football team they didn't like my Mohawk so Eye had no choice but to fight dirty.

Homz Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 You see that was part of the point of the post. The Mick and Axe are among the wisest and most intelligent of all those on the forum. Yet by the modern standards they don't have what many would call a formal education. I'm saying our current standards of measurements of such things don't fit the requirements.
