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.

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. Do you live in some Nirvana  where anyone that
wishes can wander in off the street, sit down and become a student?

Yes, that but also when I went there were entrance exams such that one might test out of some basic 'required' classes and also know the appropriate class level for other subjects. In my case, since I didn't know what I didn't know, I started with 'algebra for dummies' and Latin IV.
