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.

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.

No, it's not college's interest to have students attend unless they
get the money. Colleges and universities are in the business of making
money. That's why they have nonsense degrees about gender studies for
people are just incredibly stupid.

One of the best decissions I made was to drop out of college and
educate myself. Looking at my pictures, there's no doubt I faired much
better than Krygowki who lived his entire life in a tiny little house
(his description, not mine) and drove little wind-up economy vehicles.
He couldn't even buy his family a flat screen TV.
