Your dads in a union says it all. I live in a right to work state and I worked my way to the top of the ladder from pushing a broom to being a lic. skilled tradesmen. No college degree that I could obtain would increase my pay at any turn. 70% of all jobs require no college degree what so ever. Automation is great in all but it likely will not lead to taking the jobs of skilled trademen like plumbers, carpenters, electricains ect. Reason being is we are no where near that point in technology. We are in the biggest shortage of skilled labors since the time I was born. The small amount of tradesmen that serve such a vast majority today is staggering compared to any profession available. You will die of socialism, disease and famine long before automation takes over. College degrees and finding a job because you have one are a thing of the past. Just ask the large number of college kids still working behind the counter at McDonalds. If you want to be in debt for 5-15 years go to college, If you want to be paid a fair wage while you get an education and live debt free while doing so, then go to a trade school; pick a trade and get an apprentice card. Simple but more effective than the brainwashed ideas public schools are teaching today. Why is this so complicated to such supposed educated individuals? You were programmed to believe what you were fed, pretty fucking sad you cant think for yourselves at this point. Almost as if you people have been dumbed down while thinking your smarter than the rest of us. Go figure…
