[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3691325, member: 5412"] My wife lied about her age and got a job at 16 in the company she retired from 44 year later. Pretty much got the job because of her female "assets" being top heavy she assumed and confirmed later. High school graduate. She got hired into the accounting department as a clerk. Over the years worked her way into a junior accountant, finally taking over the top spot with several jobs as project accountant, and others over a 500 million dollar a year company. Company sold out to Schlumberger in the early 2000. The first thing they did was try to replace the people in the office that didn't have a degree with those that did. Wife had a college trainee come in she had to train to take over her job. After 90 days she was assigned to Human Recourses. After 6 months the new accountant left with no notice, so wife was brought back in to train another college educated trainee. That one made almost a year and left the department in disarray. The books were so screwed up they brought wife back in to get things back in order and they left her there. When Schlumberger shut the doors after moving the company to Houston, wife actually locked the doors in the Ponca City plant as the longest employee in the local company's history and was in the top 1% of the 100,005 or so employees of Schlumberger worldwide at that time. Got a VERY nice Rolex watch for retirement. I find it amazing watching the whiners on TV wanting the government to pay off the debts with some amounting to a half million dollars to get a bachelor's degree. Why in the hell do you need a half million dollars to get through 4 years of college? Oh, I get it. Young pups seeing big bucks dangling in front of them as low hanging fruit to harvest with no thought of the future to pay back, then lamenting they can't pay back for their debauchery. I honestly don't know how the system operates but if banks operated by that system with zero collateral, the banking system as we know it wouldn't exist. I went to a year of college while working a 40 hour work week before the draft hooked me. Zero college loans. I also get it that colleges have become incredibly expensive. Why is that? Perhaps that issue needs to be addressed? Colleges spend a huge amount of money on things other than education. There is a huge monolith in Tulsa for OSU that probably cost a half million to put in that could have been covered by a highway billboard sign to accomplish the same message. [/QUOTE]
