you are right rl as far as an education. can you honestly say that just because a piece of paper say you got an education of higher learning, that that person you or anyone else should be paid more because of a piece of paper vs. a person who has many years of hands on expeirience and then the person with the education gets paid more and is put in charge of those who been doing it many times over the person with the education?
It is simple. Just like the post about dogs and breeding. How do you get the most reliable info to base your decision? With dogs, it is pedigree. With people, it is education.
That does not mean a dog without a pedigree can't hunt or a person without a degree can't perform the job. It means it is easier for the decision maker to make one when he has something to indicate that it will accomplish their goal.
I taught my children that an education only opens a door. After your first job, no one asks about grades. They ask do you have a degree. They ask "what can you do for me". An education opens the door but then you have to perform to remain.
Now some professions require more. I am a CPA. I could not even attempt to become one without a degree. It is a minimum requirement.
if we as americans see all things that are wrong in the government. why is it only a hand full of people want to try to fix it, but with out financial backings and a heck of a lot more people support cant get it fixed?
Simple. We solve the problems we can influence. Not the ones we can't. Think about it. Do you support slavery? No. But slavery occurs throughout the world. I can't solve it. You can't solve it. So we both focus on more local things we can solve. Like parenting our children. Leading our communities. The same goes for the federal government. We all know that no matter who we elect, it is just more of the same. We can't change them, so we focus on our local communities.
