College as Trade School

College as Trade School is another example of the commodification of modern life spills over into post-secondary education in alarming ways. The historic benefit of college previously included the perceived civilizing effect and greater awareness of the sweep of history and human progress. That aspect has been reduced in the headlong rush toward getting one's ticket punched to enter the workforce in a more favorable position. That is basically like getting a Fast Pass to jump ahead in line at an amusement park, only some readers and riders will get nauseous from the event.

If you dare to think about education for education's sake, or the immense satisfaction and richness of learning and appreciating a world beyond your immediate surroundings, then you will be ostracized in the 'get ahead now because you will miss out' ethic that is the hallmark of the current zeitgeist.
I paid a fortune for a BS, and found out about College as Trade School. I was surrounded by other BS people in a mad scramble to drink through the term and Google my derivative research paper topics.

He didn't study enough to make it into a good university, so he had to settle for College as Trade School. that condemned him to a life in (gasp!) middle class. At least he had been informed of all the great benefits of joining the consumerist cause and could now spend his way into lifelong debt on top of his student loans.

She only averaged 550 on each of her SAT sections and had to go to College as Trade School instead of to a great university.

He was desperate to break out of his sad chav existence, even if his ticket out was going to College as Trade School. That was better than a dreary live stuck in some Council flat playing bad football on Saturdays and chainsmoking. Thus continued the slide into the Malthusian hell of the early new millenium.

Demographics is destiny.

PHYCO Trading Cards

"PHYCO TRADING CARDS" are the creation/brainchild of Northern California artist, Robert Reed.

Reed, a self taught artist, is also known as Rob Reed and Robert The F Poet.

Tattooing professionally in Northern California from 1979 till 2008, Reed owned and operated "ALTERED IMAGES TATTOO STUDIO" in Guerneville and Petaluma, Calif.
He served his tattoo apprenticeship under Bert Rodriquez of "Bert's Santa Rosa Tattoo", Santa Rosa, Ca.
Also worked with J.D. of "J. and D. Tattoo" in Cotati, Ca.
In March of 2008, Reed started a self induced task of producing as much art work as he could draw in a 100 day period of time. The 100 day effort produced 247 different drawings. 100 of those drawings are what Reed calls "PHYCO TRADING CARDS SERIES #1" They are a 100 card collection of non sports collectable cards. All 100 cards are signed and numbered by the artist. Unfortunaetly, these and the bulk of the 100 day drawing spree, including nearly 160 earlier drawings were left at a residence in Spokane, Washington in Sept. of 2008 while Reed traveled to Santa Rosa, Ca.

Planning to return within a weeks time, Reed did not return to Spokane. Numerous attempts at recovering the "lost artwork" have, at the present time, not been fruitful.

Reed has began drawing the artwork for "PHYCO TRADING CARDS Series #2" in November of 2010.
Mary Benny: "Jack, where are the PHYCO Trading Cards".

Jack Benny: "<Screaming>She went out and squandered my money on "PHYCO Trading Cards."

Mary Benny again: "Did Grace see those PHYCO Trading Cards?"

Lenny Bruce: Of all the psycho stuff I've seen, "PHYCO Trading Cards are the cats meow."
