I was in IT for 20 years, good pay, and looked at WGU. I had higher carts so I would have been able to accelerate the degree. Here was my problem. I was never once asked about my education in interviews. I was only asked to explain protocols and routing and switching shit. In IT you can make 6 figures without any education. If you have zero experience, go work at Best Buy and start moving your career. I only have a two year technical degree, but worked a lot after hours to get certs and was making 6 figures. Buddy didn’t even finish middle school did the same thing

That's the thing, if you are learning to be an electrician and have a buisiness doing it, you aren't trying to fight. You are trying to pass the buck. It doesn't matter how well you do either. Inflation, the invasion and the government technological advantage will be much worse for your children by the time they can fight.
I have similar thoughts on the homesteading posts. Great skills to have but doesn't really help our situation as a whole.
