People tend to think that socialist nations have better employers than we do.....you would be very, very mistaken.
Yes. The eastern bloc immigrants in the UK work like donkeys. Meanwhile our own lot will not work.

Similarly,one of britains most successful lawyers has no formal qualifications but is self taught.

Ive heard similar stories about doctors, engineers. One of my great great grandads built beautiful houses over 100 years ago. They are still standing now. He had no qualifications, couldnt even read or write but got his wife to read for him.

Its an utter scam that you are told you need to get tens of thousands into debt to listen to some jumped up socialist lecture you at university. YOU have potential from within. Trust in YOURSELF, teach YOURSELF no one else. And NEVER listen to teachers. All based around govt issuing licenses to make you subservient to them in your choice of career.
You know how to fly a F-16? How about a 747, just a bus even your ass can fly it.

Not going to happen. Just because you give it gas, get the nose up and lift off means nothing. That's the problem with people today, they've got this notion everything is easy, easy button bs, press a button and so forth. But when the chips are down and there is a major issue or fix, they all become dumb as a box of rocks.

You are missing my point. Even remotely there is a true pro who knows more about flying and the machine he or she is flying in or remotely from the ground up. I be damn if I want Joe the plumber flying my ass anywhere on a part time bases, being paid low wages.
