Quote# 47168

[In response to another poster who suggested that most parents would probably want their children to be able to go to an Ivy League college ...]

Well, I for one would NOT want my kids to go to ANY of those schools. They are nothing but liberal brainwashing camps, and the joke is on you as YOU pay them ungodly amounts of money to do that to your kids. With colleges the way they are, and the market place being saturated with incompetent college grads, I am going to urge my sons to go to a good trade school and become something like a CNC machinist

Good! The world needs machinists... and, bonus, machinists are unlikely to end up setting public policy.

I think Barikada's post is going to be hard to top. Well done!

Actually not a bad idea. We need more of those people--electricians, plumbers, utility maintenance, exterminators--we don't need more liberal arts majors. I am going to give this a rating of 1.

Yeah you're in a real position of power there. Operating.. a robot who's basically doing your job.

Yep.

Good... solid ... future.

I gave it a 3 because it's kinda funny how it sounds like they don't want their children to have a good career.

Though I might be underestimating how much fun and well-paying a CNC job is.

Nothing wrong with someone working in a good trade.

I get the feeling that the Ivy League schools wouldn't want your kids anyways.

Ah, by the time they go to college they are no longer "kids".

Do you understand modern capitalism?
If you want a half decent job with good pay, you don't become a machinist.

ApostateAbe, we reserve those jobs to illegals.

Bwahahahahaha! Barikada, now you need to tell me how to get the wine out of my keyboard.

Wait, hang on, just a minute - isn't the rapture imminent and aren't, therefore, all plans for the future futile?

If so, explain why they're considered the best universities of the country, some among the best in the world and why their graduates are among the most influential guys in the world. And why the so-called Christian colleges are, more often than not, considered wind-mill colleges and their graduates are crackpots like Kent Hovind.

You do that, but don't restict the kids that want a good education just because you are anti-intellectual.

That's fine, because in 99.95% of the cases, the Ivy League school don't want Rapture Retards either.
Problem solved.

the joke is on you as YOU pay them ungodly amounts of money

Well, I agree there.

Actually, being a CNC operator takes some education and they get quite good pay too. Sure, they won't be likely to gain any political power or make a lasting cultural footprint, but then on the other hand, the same goes for most of you, college degree or not (reality sucks, yes?).

Somehow I don't think an Ivy League college is going to be an option for a RR member.

Nothing wrong with vocational courses though. Over here in the UK (owing to Government policies to increase the numbers of graduates) every other twenty-one year old has a mickey-mouse degree and yet you can't find a plumber.

@ solomongrundy:

What do you say to a media studies graduate?

Big Mac and fries, please.

There's a strong negative correlation between education and religious belief. Thank you very much for identifying the cause for us in this case.

Isn't it up to your kids what sort of education they want? If your sons want to go and study law at Harvard, why should you stand in their way?

You are an interfering and deranged witch, and you deserve to end up with your sons working at Big Mac and not being able to support you in your dotage.

Yeah! Because all ivy league kids are incompetent college grads. You know some of us incompetent grad students probably wrote the code for rapture ready. Boy was that a dumb idea!

There will always be competition for jobs. That is life.

Good. Don't send your kids to college. Someone needs to make fries for a living and it sure as hell isn't going to be my kids.
