All That Education

Parents sent him to school
     to learn the Golden Rule 

   Son entered college
     to pursue knowledge

   Now he has a fine job
     chained to a fob

Thanks, Vijay. I agree. Hands-on training and apprenticeships are the way to go.

It is not always what it seems my friend as you eloquently wrote. Blessings to you Gershon...
