Just interesting to find out who actually is qualified and educated.
Certificates dont count as they are limited to dumb shits like traidees.

Undergrad, post grad etc count. As there is actual effort and brains involved.

I've got a masters degree, if you can beat that then you're 1337.

3/4s of a bachelor.

also an eligble bachelor.

hey, just a question, if you've got such a high qualification, why do you post so much dumb and useless stuff on this forum?

also, where did you get it from?

I have a trade certificate. Are you calling me a dumb shit?

no james, hes just trying to justify his own existence and the time he wasted on getting his "masters degree" while the rest of us were earning money, and not paying "academics" to learn thier gobshite...

The best thing i ever did was leave school and get a job. I wouldn't be where i am today if i hadn't.
I also have a diploma, but hey, you don't need brains to get one of them either...

Go on Stroke 4g15's Ego ........surely were not all "dumb shits like tradie's " on here ??? there have to be some people of his stature ?????

Hmmm not sure why my last post was deleted but never mind.

Anyway for someone with a masters degree you would think they could spell Tradies.

I have no qualifications apart from life skills, which have given me:

2 Homes, 1 to live in, 1 for an investment
2 cars, One for me (around 70k) and one for the lovely
1 Beautiful family (cant put a price on that)
Own a multi million dollar company.

Not a tradeeee though. Wouldnt call myself 1337 either, just someone who employs 4 staff, who pay their own bills, who in turn provide back into the community.

Your not an idiot Bing, neither am I. You might like to look a little deeper into the social structure.

Well i have a trade certificate and have the following
very well paid
own cars in excess of $150,000
a home
a company

so i think there is nothing wrong with having a trade. Many successful business people never finished school

i've got two cars two

well, one. no, wait, that was given to me by friends. the other was bought by mum and dad.

oh well, almost.

i do have a box full of matchbox cars though!!!

Bill Gates droped out of university in his junior year to focus on some company called Microsoft.

Richard Branson is also a drop out and he suffers from dyslexia.

Who is the dumb shit then???

unfortunately, some jobs require university degrees. unfortunately i picked one of those jobs.

fortunately, i love what i will be doing.

there are many many more dropouts on crack than the are multi million $$$ sucess stories

and bing masters is wanking shouldnt count.

Do you not mean "I've got two cars too." Mr Teacher?

So most of you are not educated then?

The fact you earn lots of money does'nt prove that you are educated. There are also a lot of educated people that earn lots of money and have a successful business. As long as you're motivated adn there is a market for what ever service you are providing you can make money in business, Educated or uneducated.

in 1999 from memory the figures for educated australians with at least a undergrad degree was approx 20% or the known population.

traidie/traidee is not a dictionary word. Maybe only in an urban dictionary and otherwise considered a slang.

The argument always comes up, Educated people vs uneducated, Trade/industry certs vs Higher education. To what level do you think you are educated. If you are uneducated and try to prove otehrwise then perhaps you cant accept yourself for the way you are, so you try and justify it otherways and maybe vice versa.

Being educated doesn't always mean that a person went to uni. Whilst it does mean this it also has other meanings

ed·u·cat·ed
adj.
1. Having an education, especially one above the average.

2. a. Showing evidence of schooling, training, or experience.
b. Having or exhibiting cultivation; cultured: an educated manner.
3. Based on a certain amount of experience or factual knowledge: an educated guess.

the Dumb Shit Tradies you talk about dickhead, are those that :
- fix your piece of shit cars (v-tec yo)
- build your houses and the buildings your educated ass works in
- installs and maintains the plumbing that the shit coming out you ass needs to be removed from the house or buliding your educated ass occupies
- maintain the power system that energizes the whole of N.T
- work in mines that supply the materials for which such things are built ... like the car you drive , or the jewlery your pimp ass wears
etc etc etc

You don't need to be highly eduacated to be succsesful in life , the above posts have shown plenty of examples of that.

Besides, unless you are some freak at your job, no one is going to hire someone who has limited or no EXPERIENCE in that field, so you will probably start off on some shit kicker wage ,doing something you dont like, making less $$$ then the dumb TRADIES you talk about.

meehhhh , im a dumb ass tradie , and i class myself as quite well off considering where i was 10 years ago. But who am i to judge.

Well i think this thread has gone far enough.

You shouldnt have called people which do trades "dumb shits"
