no doubt! Point is - somebody went to school to learn something that makes $$$money$$$ - trade school, college, or artisan. Imagine a person going to trade school to learn knitting a patterned sweater instead of building/repairing machinery. Sorry but knitting is not gonna put enough food on the plate for family because the reality is that nobody is going to pay a lot for "hand-made sweater". They flock to Wal-Mart for it.

And I think it's especially important for young deaf people to be educated while still in high school about realities of life after college so they would make smarter choices in what they choose to study in college.
ain't that a sad cruel truth? only if young'uns would just not be stubborn
