   Sounds like Denver and its surrounding suburbs. Except instead of building in the middle of nowhere, they built 5,000 houses right up against a superfund site that used to be where nuclear bombs were built. And yes, the soil IS contaminated.

   I used to live in the boonies and then the city came and surrounded me. Thousands and thousands of new houses.

   I agree, and I’m a Boomer too.

   Maybe GoComics did something. Look for a new handle/account soon.

   Or he has some serious dirt on them. He has some kind of hold over them.

   Makes you wonder what Putin and/or Trump has on them.

   I noticed that Jack didn’t answer your question. Do you believe what he says about going to college?

   What the heck does Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniacki and Bill Gates with Paul Alan did so with their first pcs in their parent’s garage have to do with the FACT that the people they hire to do their engineering work NOW are college graduates, mostly with 4 year degrees and many with Masters? Co-Op students on summer jobs are working under/along with an experienced engineer. Companies doing it to check them out. Co-op students usually cost more than the work they do is worth.

   You make no sense.

   I know all about Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniacki, etc. I’m about the same age so it wasn’t ancient history for me, it was real time. I have a class mate who went to work for Apple way back then and is now extremely well off. I worked as a cop-op at IBM before working there full time and then moved on to other peripheral/storage companies. Like I said, there’s a chance there’s some firmware of mine still in some computers being used, given how much firmware get reused. Heck, there are still hooks for supporting Main Frame Count Key Data formats because of code reuse.

   Yes, I went to two universities and have two degrees. And you? You are so bitter about it, did you not hack it? Not everyone can. Or did you not find the job you imagined you’d find afterwards? Or did you not REALLY go at all and are just envious of those of us who did? Why should I believe YOU?

   You did a bit of low level design work while working through college? So what. Many of us did co-op jobs to help pay for our college. That was how many companies checked us out before hiring us after graduation. I did it, my spouse did it and even my daughter did it in the 2010’s. Believe me, after working with many a co-op student, they weren’t given major design work.

   Not the same as trade school graduate unless you were a trade school graduate who then decided to go and get a 4 year degree.

    Only if those kids live alone. If each kid pairs up with someone else’s kid, it balances out.
