Kids in school.. Oh MY!!!

ELKCHSR, what's your GPA? Let me guess... that doesn't matter either.
Nope Greeny it doesn't (at least not here), thats why it's not posted, even though to a couple of brain dead fools on this board who seem to want every one to think it is... ;) p.s. this isn't including you... I know your just stirring the pot

2004 Graduates from MSU College of Engineering

yep, your right on that, but my full point is what (besides the education) do these individuals have to add in real life experience, and the even bigger question is....

Are these the only degrees sought after by every one that will net this as a base starting salary with only a degree to start?

Plus the amount you’re mentioning is journeyman level (Less time in trade than going to school, plus showing earnings each year instead of paying out) in most building trades doing manual type labor. There is a difference though, one you can work at till the day you die, the other is a young mans sport generally speaking and the health goes to shit by the time their in their mid 40's.

You see cheese, you just dont get it.

LOL... That’s why you get so defensive... :eek: :rolleyes: :p :D snicker... snicker... :)

Besides, Butz the Putz… You are just as easily made fun of if not more so, and it’s just as easy to poke holes in most any thing you post, simply because you pull the same shit you defame others for. Hence, fear of letting most every one know who you are including name, for fear of really opening yourself up to even more self created abuse and criticism. :)

Hmmmm.. Yep, I don’t know… ;)

Like anything, college is what you make of it.

The electives served me well $$$$ wise when I needed them, because of the knowledge it gave me at the time... But upward and onward is what I say, don't trap yourself into a box...

OAK!!! Now that is funny... :D

I thought you would have figured out that I meant Montana Tech

I had an idea, but because it wasn't spelled out to that extent wasn’t totally sure, plus I wanted to try a different approach than a brick and mortar school to see what the difference in training is.

I did find, it takes a few weeks of research to understand good schools from bad, accreditation, quality of teaching, types of degrees and extra studies to each, plus figuring out which would fit my background the best and what perspective companies were looking for, but I suppose that should take place any where before jumping in to this commitment.

I'm not into getting an engineering degree (even though this could be a possibility down the road), or mining I would have gone to Butte if that was what I was truly interested in but which you have a valid point for mentioning.

40-50 year olds that asked to many damn questions, and had trouble following along cause they had been out of school for so long.

I've seen the same type and they drive every one around them nuts, these individuals are this way because they have never experiencing life, they wake up one day from their stupor and head to school to see what they’ve missed, these individuals will always be like this, even in the work place twenty years in (most of us know of these people), but I’ve also seen it from kids who don’t have enough back ground in life to understand the concepts their trying to grasp.

If you're basing your assumptions off freshman,
No, it's a general assumption of the age bracket.

Very few are willing to dedicate their time to pick up on the bulk of the learning at the get go, and I should say that by the time most are hitting Jr-Sr. year levels, they have realized there is light at the end of the tunnel and will submit more energy into a higher level of completion, are two years older and figured a little more of what they want to do in life, plus the two years make a huge difference on maturity levels.

Bottom line is, as I have stated before, there is an exception to every rule, and maybe most of those exceptions are here on this board as the averages go just because of the amount of input continually submitted, but MOST "Kids" aren’t' ready for any thing after high school except where the next party is (want proof, start a business and hire them on if you can find enough to help run a business), or some thing besides school to entertain them ( I now get to see them on the fire lines en-force).

You do have a lot of washing out in every trade, industry, schooling endeavor by young people because their busy searching for their own place in life or rut to crawl into.

I would say that after a couple years out of school, some are more than ready to take the plunge into higher learning and get some thing out of it besides a bit of paper and a piece of ass.
 
Techs really streamline some of the 'on the job training' needed to help get into that industry, most of the excess 'stuff' that’s not necessary for the chosen industry is run thru a tech.

....to Answer a Prior Question, Yes, I did go to School to get a 2 year degree. I started in a tech school. I left school actually before I finished and Came back to take the Final. I was also Voted least likely to succeed. Maybe thats were my chip is coming from. I know were alot of the Other Educated people stand in life..... :) I think I got a D+ average ? but I got a Paper "thinggy" in a frame I have somewere stuck under a shelf somewere. It sure as heck hasn't helped me land anything. :)

I don't want anyone to think this reply is looking down on anyone (Although it sure sounded like that). It's more of a Point that Waterboy made up above.. jsut not in all those confusing "big words" ;)

I'm not woried about putting my kids through School. I'll find some way to pull the Coins together if/when I have to.

Elkchsr, this was one thread you wouldn't have been made fun of by others had you not posted in it. But see, you had to post and took my "dumbness" thunder ;)
 
It is funny to try and read the Cheese's posts and figure out what his rambling means. And then Greenhorn can post a single statement, and it is perfectly clear. Further showing the value of an education.....

The Cheese's lack of education will always limit his ability to land a job where any type of communication is required. Look at the poor quality of his writing compared to Bambi, Greenhorn, and the other guys with "thingys" on their walls....


Any bets on the breakdown of education levels in this country's prison systems? I would bet the "No HS Diploma" population percentage in prison has far greater representation than it does in the general population.


Another interesting correlation might be the number of states a hunter hunts in as correlated to the level of education attained. I am willing to state that more education means more states hunted as a non-Resident.
 
"More states hunted as a non-resident"? Nope, that's a discretionary cash correlation.

Prison population/high school dropout correlation?..absolutely.

Chaser's writing volumnious & apparently annoying to some?...evidently. Malicious?...looks like he's surrounded by malice in this thread.
 
NoHarley,
What do you think is a good predictor of discretionary cash over one's lifetime? Perhaps edjumacation level? There is also a "amount of vacation" element to being able to hunt out of state.

Have you ever heard of anybody being "held back in life" because they went to
"collage"? Do you think many people regret having gone to "collage"?
 
:eek: ! ! ! G A S P ! ! ! :eek:

Ken !!! Say it isn’t so!!! :eek: :D:D:D

New study says two-thirds of all collage students have experienced secual harassment. The other one-third was too drunk to remember

A little search and a guy comes up with this type of info from colleges.

I didn't see much on it dealing with the pursuit of education in any form and one guy in there sounds a little like a furry little troll that posts here... ;)

Say's he's from Columbia Ohia, and even runs on part of the same name, but I suppose a person can submit any place they want for a residence. ;)

Whoda thought though, that a post about education of all things could bring out so much animosity amongst the locals... :)

LOL guner/sybil

You guys posted before I was finished, so I figured I had better add to this post instead of making another, or you and your imaginary friends may think I'm double posting to get more posts... hump

Yep, you're correct on the assumption of more $$$ over a life time, but and that’s always there, I see an awful lot of complaints by "kids" that finish collage with a degree in hand whining that they are sweeping floors for a living, what’s up with that??? :p
 
Nope Greeny it doesn't (at least not here), thats why it's not posted, even though to a couple of brain dead fools on this board who seem to want every one to think it is... p.s. this isn't including you... I know your just stirring the pot

I'm not sure if he's stiring the pot or what, but my "quote" indicator says different......

If you're an organ donor, please do some poor bastard a favor and exclude your brain.

After meeting you, I've decided I am in favor of abortion in cases of incest.

Whoa now that's deep. I couldn't understand 90% of it, but it's definately deep.

Judging by the old saying, "What you don't know can't hurt you," you're practically invulnerable.

Who showed this guy how to connect to the internet? "

For the sake of mankind let's hope he's "asecual".

Anyone who told you to be yourself couldn't have given you worse advice.


OK,,,, OK,,,, Maybe I threw in some additional ones but you get the point ;)

Duh Gunner...agreed... I was referring to how said cash & time off was prioritized. I will agree the rising cost will exclude more and more low to middle wage earners but there are still armies of guys who sacrifice..ie. prioritize to hunt out of state.

2nd & 3rd question..No
