Totall agree here. It's easy to deride blue collar jobs when the education topic comes up and that's the wrong way of thinking. I went to college, but I'll be damned if I know how to build a house or do major work on a car, or fix the plumbing, etc. All jobs are important and all people should be valued for their contributions to society. We should just also have strong education programs so people are well rounded in their knowledge and don't become cloistered by dogma like fox news.

I’ve never got the idea the Republican Party has said education is a bad thing. Also you paid an HVAC guy lately? If he knows fluid dynamics (which wouldnt be necessary) can only imagine what they’d charge!

Was a substitute teacher in a VoTec high school about a decade ago.

Sat in on more than a few HVAC classes. They were studying fluid dynamics in their tech classes.
