I was just saying about some of the kids today are looking to make a fast buck and not “working” for the salary. I know there are student loans and other debts. But, as Blast said we are living in a society that kids want to sit back and relax without “hard” work.

I have had young kids just coming out of college, thinking they know everything and expect to be paid for the degree they hold. They don’t have any experience at all either in the field or in the office.

I have suggested many times and I will continue to tell them try and get an internship at a construction type company so you can gain that office and field experience. I will look at that more then just a degree.

Nuke,
As evident in your page name you are well acclamated in generating paper. I heartedly appreciated the "politaclly correct" submittals by my IH when I worked at Hanford and Savannah River.
I majored in Civil with the emphasis on Structural Engineering when I attended college. Nothing can be more applicable in the boom business. The knowledge of and physics never matched with the application for what I endeavor upon.
I agree with Demobud, nothing wrong with an education...use it well when you can.
