> [@speedracer329](#): > > my sense of humor can be dry and ambiguous, thus i clarify that “why dont i try shoveling dirt/asphalt on a hot day?”… because i went to school, used my brain, learned a skill. but in all seriousness an undergraduate degree is a joke, professional school is where its at. for all the time and effort you put in to studying it would be insulting to earn anything less than $100/hr, so why pay someone who “busts their ass” $50/hr when there are other people qualified to do it for less? Yes i understand there are other fields where people slack off, but perhaps thats because their level of responsibility is much lower. I dont earn close to either of the aforementioned salaries but i work 12hr shifts in the ER and if you sit down 3-4 times during your shift its “slow”, its a busy job and if you mess up you dont stop the assembly line, you get a committee review because someone dies. So the take home message is: kids go to school so you don’t have to shovel dirt/asphalt on a hot day. Yes go to school so you can have a miserable job like this guy lol. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/plants-vehicles-affected-by-american-axle-strike/47945)._
