The guy my nephew dated throughout college is super smart as well. He just didn’t want to go to college right after HS. Maybe he will go someday? Idk.
Where I come from, everyone has done blue collar labor jobs all their lives. It just is normalized there. My dad was working for his union, setting up and breaking down shows at the Convention center up until he was in his 70s.
He was still working on cars, too. (Somehow, all of his mechanical genes missed me though
)
He wanted us to go to college because he lost a lot in life when the industries started going overseas in the 80s. I think he saw it as bringing more job security.
Idk if it was this thread, but I had the weirdest dream I was back at community college last night lol…CC is doing good in this part of the state. Although not every county has one, many places are adding branches so that people can at least get some coursework locally. Here is a project completed by the late Rep Jeff Pyle (a great educator and human)
