AMEN, I could not agree w/ that more. I work for a Agronomy center doin custom application, seed and fertilizer sales, and other farm related stuff. We just hired a new guy, fresh out of two years of tech school, went for agronomy tech. Lived in town his whole life, had never stepped foot on a farm until he worked here. Sure, he knows alot about the technical things that U learned out of a book, but when it comes to actual common sense or work, he is out in left field, has no mechanical knowledge at all, can't back trailers, heck, the other day we were talkin about heifers and bulls, and he didn't even know what we were talkin about. On the other hand, hired a guy, lived on a farm his whole life, never sprent a day in a college classroom, but some of the things he knows and can do more than makes up for his lack of technical knowledge. Moral of the story is, sure a college education is a good thing, but some things in life just cannot be taught. A guy could be the smartest person in the world, but if he doesn't know how to use what he has learned, What good has it done? Sorry for blabbin, just my thoughts. -Wide Open
