When I was in school shop class was for the guys who weren't going to college. Lord knows that wasn't me!
In retrospect that was pretty stupid. Learning meaningful skills doesn't only happen in a lecture hall or lab.

Yup Lane. When I was in high school the kids who were going to college like me didn’t take shop or typing. In retrospect they would have been the most useful classes I could have taken. And it’s obvious to me that some of the most brilliant folks on this site took these classes and didn’t go to college. Framed pieces of paper on the wall in no way equates to intelligence or success.
