Re: Finally got my G.E.D!!!
Yup.That is the truth.The union couldnt get enough aprentices back in San Diego so they started a high school recruiting program and they raised their starting salery.So we started getting kids straight from high school that didnt know a flat head screwdriver from a phillips.And none of them wanted to dig.It was ------- lame couse most of them were extreamly lazy and just there for the schooling because you can use your credits to get a electrical engineering degree after you become a journeyman. So they were just there for free school.
The trades are defenitly being lost.

Re: Finally got my G.E.D!!!
haha, I got my GED too (Good Enough Diploma) 
I only remember it being a couple hours though and they had questions like, "Whats the name of the white house where the president lives?" 
Don't go to college Raffa. College ain't ---- compaired to having real hands on experience and knowing the right people. The faster you start working towards the "circle" of people that are going to get you ahead, the faster you get to where you're going.
College teaches you how to be a good employee, which was a good thing to learn at the beginning of the industrialization age. With pensions and all that goody goody retirement ---- going away, nows the time to stop looking for a job, and start looking for people who want to work for you.

Re: Finally got my G.E.D!!!
I'm going to be a rich man without a diploma or a GED. 
I'll rock the boat and be more successful than most without that ----. I'm already the highest paid electrician in the company and for the area I make well above average income. Move to AZ Raffi. We need a good foreman that can handle stress and keep ---- straight. I'll start you off at $5/hour since you're a beaner.

So pretty much with my construction back ground,manegerial experience,and now my GED I have a shot at getting a job in construction related fields making $40-$65k a year without putting on my tools..Usually they ask for 5 years related experience with a diploma/GED,or a college degree.
