Universities have done an excellent job of brainwashing the masses into thinking that their brand of education is the key to happiness and a good job. Enough people have bought into it that tradesmen are in really short supply, and are very much in demand. I am sure that this is not universal, but around where I am, trademen are guaranteed to be able to work in their chosen field, make a good income, and have job security for life. They also get paid while recieving their education. William Robb -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
