Two-Year Technical Training Programs

I have far greater admiration for someone that, say, completes a two-year technical training program at a vocational college, than I have for someone that graduates with a four-year degree in Psychology and then whines and complains about how they can't find a job.

Nurse, RAD tech, surgical tech, automotive smth, plumbing.

This usually culminates in an associate degree.  That associate degree is worth immensely more than a degree in English Literature ever is.  It is worth more to society, and it is worth more to themselves and their families.

Middle class whites -- they would never deign to humble themselves by working in any of the skilled labor fields.  Auto mechanic, plumber, construction worker.  They think that learning one of the skilled trades is beneath them.
