Instead the bean counters forced a very poor hardware/software solution to trick the pilots into thinking that plane handled like what they had been trained on.

    Just an FYI sometimes you don’t even need to go to a vocational school to become a professional tradesman. You can obtain a lot of your certifications simply by becoming an apprentice, then journeyman, and then once you’re competent enough to take the tests & pass them, you’ll be on your own. This is exactly what I did in automotive. The dealership I work for paid for me to go to Honda School while I worked for them and I achieved Master Tech in about 3 years. Now I own a home, have no debt other than a mortgage, and have a 911 Turbo.

It is so bad, that even at the level of the US Supreme Court, every American has to be concerned who occupies the WH and who holds the Majority in the Senate when an appointment is made.

  • @bearowen5480

    Knowing what I know now 60 years later, I wonder if I would have taken a hard look at a good trade school at the time I started college in 1963. I wanted to be a fighter pilot and serve my country in Vietnam. At the time one had to have a four year college degree to get a commission in the service, and a commission in order to go to pilot training. So I majored in Radio and Television Communications, arguably a trade school curiculum, and had a brief stint as a broadcaster at a major market AM and FM radio station before being commissioned in the Marines and becoming a career military and commercial airline pilot. My college major could have been in a trade school. If the military had recognized such training as equivalent to a four year degree, I might have taken that route. Unfortunately, the military still requires a four year degree to become an officer today. It doesnt take a degree in aerospace engineering to become a competent fighter pilot or serve in another officer specialty. I wonder why the US military still has this educational bias?

    The trades is nice, if you just want to be an employee and are following the comfortable path. Comfortable path being.. .you are just assigned a set of tasks of responsibilities for you to accomplish and that's it. You're stuck at that level, you become better at it sure.. but that's it for you. Owning a business in Trade is a whole other thing.
    The only issue with Trades is the toll it will take on your body and how easier it is to lose a job due to injuries than market.
    While people with degrees choosing the employee route, can also lose their jobs to the market more easily than a Trade.
    The degree person can still work if they brake/lose a leg or arm. or any other physically damaging scenario. Because they are paid to use their brain, mostly.
    Meanwhile the Trades, you are paid for your physical body mainly, rather than to think. You already have the knowledge from experience.
    However, the person in corporate can still function since their job is not that physically demanding.
    1 accident is all it takes, for you to have no income at all.

    Only a handful of diverse, hard-to-replicate, physical labor-required jobs will not be automated shortly. However, these are the sort of jobs even most blue-collar workers truly hate and want to possibly avoid. Only dangerous and low-paying jobs will not be able to be replaced so it's actually not that much of a smart move ditching the college altogether.
    Essentially, ALL jobs are in danger, whether these are white-collar or blue-collar.
    A year ago people were listing off the jobs which could not be possibly replaced by the AI now seeing that some of them are already replaced for good. I think plain village life will be mandatory for most people as the financial system is going to radically change or totally collapse which will lead people to find alternative ways that don't include being a part of the system. People will be forced to learn survival skills in the nature.
