Comment An Interesting Tidbit (Score 2) 31

From the linked article:

CareerBuilder + Monster also agreed to sell its software services business for federal and state governments to Canadian software company Valsoft, and the military.com and fastweb.com websites to Canadian media company Valnet.

I'm wondering what the regime will do once they figure out that Federal and Civilian Military job information is going appear to go to Canada?

That doesn't make as much of a difference as you seem to think. It still appears that Trump thinks he can order people to move manufacturing to the United States without providing incentives to help offset the cost of building factories and training workers.

It also still appears that the goal is to take America back to the mid-1800's, which was not a good time for the average person.

Not that Trump or his acolytes particularly care about the average person.

Where did I say that NOBODY should go to college?

Where did I say that EVERYONE should be in the trades?

Yes, there is an issue with the high cost of post-secondary education, and it does need to be addressed. However, that's no reason to dismiss those who find their niche elsewhere.

I have one son who will be getting his Bachelor's in about a year. I have another son who is happily working in his chosen field who may or may not ever go to college.

Let's help our children be the best version of who they are is all I'm trying to say.

Comment My Two Sons (Score 5, Insightful) 213

I have two sons. My older son is finishing his junior year of college and working part-time in his chosen field. My younger son went to a vocational high school for his final two years, where he learned HVAC, got his OSHA 20 hour card, and became certified to handle all manner of refrigeration systems. He's currently working as a residential HVAC installer and is one of the youngest employees in his company.

Both of my sons have found their niche, and I am very proud of both of them. Not everyone is cut out for college, and we need to understand and accept this.

I buy direct from China, I don't go through Amazon or Wal-Mart, so I'm wondering exactly how much more expensive things are going to get for me (and by extension, other Canadians who do the same).

I imagine things may get a bit more expensive for you (sorry!) but if the Chinese government is smart they'll do what they can to keep the increases to a minimum while doing as much damage to the US (especially the Republican states) as they can.

It is much harder to find a job than to keep one.
