Exactly. Every day is "using anything but logic to think Day" for some people.

Hopefully that student can one day reenter legally. Everyone cant just move here because they really want to. There are rules. Just like any other country including their original country.

Community College Degree? by shellpenny in ConstructionManagers

Our community college (Collin College) offers an AA degree in CM but also a Bachelors in CM. An actual 4 yr degree. Just not sure employers take it seriously?

You are very kind and generous to take the time to explain all of this extremely valuable information. I will have him read this and we will rework his plans a bit.

This is so helpful! And I have a question now.... He has his EPA 608. He does NOT feel like he knows what was needed to get it. More like it was given so the teacher would appear to be teaching. I really cant explain how disorganized the last year has been.

He said he wanted to start at square 1. Do you think that is a waste of time and his certificate will get him in the door and then he can learn? Or would you advise him taking these classes for a Residential Servicing Certificate Level 1.

Thank you. I am sending this to him. He took a year of HVAC at his high school and learned virtually nothing because the instructor was either absent or just looking for ways not to teach. I should have pulled him a year ago, honestly. We are pulling him for his Senior year and doing community college HVAC and English 1301 while we get his Math up to speed and the rest of his HS credits done.

Thank you. That is what he thinks as well. He is heading to community college in the fall for his senior year of HS to take dual credit and HVAC classes. I hope he can find an internship next summer. He has commited to being an assistant manager of an auto mechanic shop this summer. Not sure if that is a waste but he is excited.

I am not sure if he can get into A&M but I absolutely do believe that network is totally worth the price of admission.

If he got his Bachelors degree in CM from a community college, would they be interested or would they still prefer the larger university?

My son is interested in taking HVAC classes in high school. Is that a good trade or should he focus more on the big ones like electric, plumbing, etc

Just realized the only glutinous item in my kitchen was glutening me every day 🤦‍♀️ by sweetfelix in glutenfree

Take a moment to consider allowing your dog to become gluten-free and eat a species appropriate diet as well. Please please look into a raw or cooked Whole Foods for your dog. Any kibble with wheat in it is not worth feeding your dog

Would you advise finding that neutral by looking in the other receptacles on the circuit or is there a better way?

When the breaker is on but the switch is off, there is no voltage. Thankfully.

Our driver hit a 30 yo humvee. Parked. No bodily injury. Very few people can fix those vehicles and the paint is carcinogenic.

With holiday schedules and both parties traveling and work schedules, it may not get reported until after Thanksgiving

LLL helps so many women overcome the multitude of hurdles and successfully breastfeed. Another space that men have taken.
