Some say bypassing a higher education is smarter than paying for a degree (Hey, just skip college!)

a person graduate from a university with a degree and still be an IDIOT,

I totally agree with this part of your statement. Many liberal and communist degreed "intellectuals" are morons, to use your terminology.

its [sic] a REQUIREMENT!!!

This part of your statement is definitely...moronic!

if a sub 100 IQ can run not “drive” a dozer why didn’t you run it on your base rock top soil job?

So you would have pushed $500 a load gravel into the topsoil too?

We are discussing Engineering degrees. They are not handed out like BA's.

Most blue collar types are like little bully children, and act accordingly. I know the type and how to handle them. Without a set of plans they are lost. Too bad they can't follow them. They aren't suggested plans, they are THE plans that HAVE To BE FOLLOWED.

I know what an engineering degree is. I was commenting on the part of the comment stating "University Degrees," in general.

Liberals call themselves "intellectuals" whether or not they are degreed in anything.

Recent engineering graduates don't like to be taught how to do things according to standards either.

It's a sign of the times, breakdown of family values/education, public schools and the me me me syndrome.

You still haven’t answered my question but dont worry about it, bottom line your you and I’m me.

Hire people to work for me, I expect them to do it my way or tell me up front why it can't be done my way. I don't want to operate heavy machinery, thought I could learn If I wanted to, I'm sure. If I can learn to fly aircraft I am sure a cat is not going to be that hard.

Engineers have a job to do, just like you. They are responsible when things go wrong, not the escalator crew that moved on months ago.
