A parking lot attendant is more likely to have a college degree than an electrician? As if I needed more cynicism about my life.

- sachinag 16y agoWe have a well-established apprenticeship system for electricians and other skilled trades here in the States. Not all formal learning happens in colleges.
- hugh3 16y agoMakes sense. Electrician is a skilled job which requires a lot of training. It's not the kind of thing you just fall into as a temporary stopgap when you can't get real work with your B.A. in Medieval Basket-weaving.
- aaronbrethorst 16y agoIn college I knew a ton of people who would take jobs as parking lot attendants because it gave them a simple, non-taxing job with plenty of spare time allowing them to study while working. Even those these were all undergrads, I can easily imagine lots of grad students would do the same.
