You do realize these guys lift? They are not retirement home candidates.
That is what apprentices are for. Besides, I know plenty of guys in skilled trades that blow the doors off young adults just through efficiency, knowledge, work ethic and decades of acclimation.
It is rare that I have to do any machining but when I do I don’t have kids load the parts for me.

Lifting is irrelevant
Imagine getting into a cramped area that is very warm (i.e. servers etc.) room where you have to lean over or crawl in a hard to access area to read (btw, how is your eyesight doing once you get to this age by the way?) a small part number off of a piece of equipment. Then you have to solder or reconnect wires in that same cramped area, I’d rather be young than old.
Machining? Like in an open area where you can stand and move around freely? Give me a break this isn’t even close to a good analogy.
I’ll wait for AC to respond…

Yes we have established that basically once you hit 45/50 your fucking OLD, time to be put out to pasture. Sent off into the woods to die. You basically need to wear depends and move to Florida to wait to die. Sad. I only have a few years left. 
I dont want to move to Florida[/quote]

If all college is about is getting a job or about making money then go to a trade school. Consider the following:
â??Weâ??ve bought into the idea that education is about training and â??successâ??, defined monetarily, rather than learning to think critically and to challenge. We should not forget that the true purpose of education is to make minds, not careers. A culture that does not grasp the vital interplay between morality and power, which mistakes management techniques for wisdom, which fails to understand that the measure of a civilization is its compassion, not its speed or ability to consume, condemns itself to death.â?? (Chris Hedges, The Empire of Illusion).
