What if you're dumb?

CCC88 - You cut out half a sentence from my post, took it out of context, and wrote a rambling paragraph on it. What does that say about you? I apologize if i’ve offended you or if you perceived it as condescending. Really, I was just trying to give the OP some advice and thought I wrote it in a light-hearted tone, even joking about her being a pretty model.

Why are you trying to justify your life to me when I never addressed you? You sound so insecure. Maybe I phrased things the wrong way, but I know that there’s multiple types of intelligence. I said college is not for everyone, it’s a path most Americans don’t take. When I mentioned colleges that cater to lower-achieving students, I meant exactly that, nothing more. Just like there’s colleges that cater to overachievers, there’s colleges meant to help the lower-achievers succeed too. I didn’t say people who don’t go to college are dumb. You seem to have missed the entire point of my post and concentrated on half a sentence.

those in manual labor could not even handle the easiest schools

There, that’s half a sentence from your post - is that what you meant? didn’t think so.

Vehicle - what specific professions are you interested in where you need a degree? are you interested in a trade job but don’t feel you’re skilled enough for it?
