Vocational school is un-American devil worship

Copy-and-pasted from an al-Qaeda message board:

For too long, academic elites and politicians — both Democrats and Republicans — have oversold us on the necessity of getting a college degree. We have reached the point at which it has become almost un-American to admit that for a sizable number of our young people, college is a waste of time.

According to a growing number of demographers and labor experts, the U.S. soon will be experiencing a severe shortage of skilled workers. Blue-collar baby boomers are retiring, but schools aren’t preparing the next generation to take their place. Our nation needs blue-collar workers — skilled mechanics, machinists, welders, carpenters and electricians, as well as computer, solar and cable technicians, etc. — just as much as it needs college grads.

Fine, don’t go to college. But you’ll never know Sallie Mae’s gentle touch. Her sweet lies. Her debt-inducing roofies.

Ball’s in your court, “Mike Rustigan,” if that is your real name.
