I'm not talking about ppl who claim to know stuff they don't. I'm just talking about when ppl here say JW did the wrong thing when they decided to become janitors. My comment has nothing to do with JW or their claiming to know it all, I was just saying that all around the world there are ppl doing these jobs and when you say JW's sacraficed their college education and became "mere" janitors and window washers, I think those remarks are downgrading for all, both JW and non-JW, who do this for a living.
I know zilch about cosmology factors but I don't care 'cause that has nothing to do with what I'm saying. Ppl here have said that they should have been to uni and now they are stuck in a low-life job like being janitors and not some "computer tech or some university educated rich guy" like the ones that put up these things.
I know that money can't buy you happiness, but I also know I'd rather cry in a Jaguar then in the bus. But I just don't like ppl who talk about a profession like it's worth nothing. Just because you are a janitor doesn't mean you are stupid. You can know all sorts of things even if you don't have a college education.
The thing about school is...everyone thinks ppl who don't go to school are stupid. Well, I think that school is a good thing, but it's just not for all. Some can't afford it, others don't like school and some are to stupid to go to school. Well, I look up to ppl who work hard even if it doesn't get them much money or a rolls in the garage. I like those ppl a lot better then snobs who can't handle having an education without letting the world know about it and feeling above those who don't, and get a fine job doing what daddy did ;)
Sorry for the long post, I'm just rambling (I´m a night watchman so I have a lot of time ;) But I don't think you understood my post correctly, maybe it has something to do with my bad english...I don't know.
