  I can play 25 different instruments, record and produce music at a professional level, I can direct photography for a motion pictures, write television news copy, code in 5(ish) different languages, mill lumber from raw timber, gut and fillet SO MANY different types of fish, build structure out of earthen building material, I can wire photovoltaic panels in series or parallel and am familiar with both 13v and 24v system, and I can do pretty much anything to a car that doesn’t require a lift or a hoist.

  But are any of those special without the little paper that says you can do them?

    so why dont you get a trade school diploma for one of those?

    should be simple enough if you already have experience

    the reason they ask for diplomas is because it’s difficult to prove someones competence if they dont have that piece of paper, unfortunately

      Because school is expensive and time-consuming and I’m already working full time to BARELY get by. I love school (well, I love learning, but it’s simply not an option for me at this point in my life. Obviously I’ve looked into it (and have a fair amount of student debt to prove that I’ve tried more than once), but I always have to make the choice between going to school or eating and paying rent, and I usually want to eat and have a place to live.

        agh, that really sucks. i thought trade school was free in all western countries

        i know university education isn’t always free, but trade school costing money is news to me and news that doesnt make any sense in my head

      They give that piece of paper to rapist celebrities like Bill Cosby for no reason than they are famous.

  I own a small manufacturing company but god damn the eu acts like they only want major corpos with awful labor practices or poor people that don’t even speak their language to immigrate.

  You’re smug now but those corpos will eat your next 💗
