Git 'er done. I'd like to see it combined with a revamped educational system that pushed college out 2 years from HS graduation and during which time there was all kinds of public and private internship opportunities. e.g., starting as sophmore in HS you would have to do X amount of country service. you could get a waiver if you had high enough grades, blah, blah, blah but otherwise after HS: * peace corps * military * civil service * corp internship * private business intership * others This way kids who had their shit together could get their civil service requirement fulfilled in HS and then go into business internship for 2 years. Other kids could go military . Other kids could get jobs building infrastructure, etc or peace corps or whatever. But kids should go to college for more than job training and because they want too. Corporations and private businesses should have an easy path from internship to fulltime without college. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:279468 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
