On the article Is a College Degree Worth It for Everyone Anymore?

ReplyI have three plumbers in my family - two who went to college and one who did it through an apprenticeship - all three graduated from Loganville High School about 10 or 11 years ago. The one who did it through an apprenticeship is further up the chain, makes more money and certainly has no college loans to pay off - in fact he was paid while he learned and is still learning in an effort to move further up the ladder. Maybe the college degree will help the other two down the road - of that I don't know - but I do know that the one who went to trade school is benefitting right now.

ReplyAh yes, Spring in Loganville. Thanks for these ones too David. I'm hoping to be able to show a couple of pages of the calendar with the earlier winners so we know what to expect in our 2014 calendar. I'm excited.

Glad to let you know Sheena. It was a long time before I learned about the connection too. Many, many years ago, I witnessed the Poppy Day connection when the queen of England's mother visited Kenya, where I lived at the time. I was so impressed to learn, some 50 or so years later, that the idea was first born in the Walton County community I eventually made my home. Very proud Walton County resident now - much of that pride attributed to connections like this.
