And John, a college education in engineering is open to everyone. So are
jobs in engineering. Or at least, those things are open to everyone with
enough intelligence. I assume you chose not to pursue those things, just
as I chose not to pursue formal shooting competitions.

Ah Frankie, back to your old tricks again. You tell a lie, i.e. an
untruth,  and  you are corrected. You then change the subject... just
as Tom does. Although Tom does seems to be doing it less frequently
recently.

Exhibit #1... "a college education in engineering is open to

Really? Just walk into the collage  and tell them I want an
engineering educations and Bingo! You become  a collage student?

If you qualify with sufficient evidence of intelligence, yes. Schools
generally don't want to waste resources on the uneducable.

But you may first have to know how to spell "college."   ;-)

It's not that different from competitive shooting, John. You wouldn't
welcome a person with uncontrollable tremors onto your target shooting
team, so it's not really "open to anyone." We wouldn't welcome a person
who couldn't learn algebra into our engineering school, but it's open to
anyone who's qualified.

 
 
Really? Open to anyone that qualifies?
Strange. In my case and my brothers money was the consideration - no
money, no school.

If you're bright enough, you can get a scholarship. If it's not a free
ride (like one of mine was) there are programs that help with finances.
There are generally loans available. Colleges have departments that help
students find financing, largely because it's in the college's interest
to have students attend. That should be obvious.

Sorry you missed out. I worked my own way through, but I admit it was
less expensive in those days.

An interesting comment as a very quick search reports that a college
education isn't cheap -
"The average total cost for a year of college at a four-year school —
including tuition and fees, on-campus room and board, books, supplies,
and other expenses — was $38,270, or about $153,000 over four years"

In short again you demonstrated that your arguments are a combination
of guesses, innuendos and lies, in polite terms "you do not know what
you are talking about."

As an aside, way back in my younger days the Bar Girls in Japan used
to call people that lied a "Bu Shit Boy" (no "L" sound in Japanese
language.
