[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 933985, member: 2189"] Good point about the subjective nature of websites on the internet. Case in point. [URL='http://energy.gov/'][COLOR=#ff0000]DOE[/COLOR][/URL] [URL='http://www.ed.gov/'][COLOR=#ff0000]Dept. of Education[/COLOR][/URL] [URL='http://www.defense.gov/'][COLOR=#ff0000]DOD[/COLOR][/URL] Be careful as that argument can work against you too! As for education, since the dept. of education took direction of American schools in the late 1970's, at the time a high school diploma was considered enough. At UPS, someone with only a high school diploma could easily become a manager and even a division manager. Today this is no longer the case as the equivalent level of education now is a 4 year college degree and a high school diploma is about an 8th grade level. After 30 plus years of federal direction of education, the level of education has gotten worse and will likely only get worse from such topdown control. Of course this is just more subjective internet stuff to be ignored but more and more people especially parents are coming to see what the system really is.
