A signing Day added this year.We not only celebrate the largest number of
(02:34):
job opportunities offered through Career Signing Day, but also the collective effort of everyone
involved in making it a reality.Our goal is to continue fostering the prosperity
of both our local youth and theindustry that plays such a pivotal role in
our economy. Boy, that's agood news story to start the show.
(03:00):
That is a good news story.To start the show industry in Brazoria County,
saying we need good skilled workers andwe're willing to train them people that
want to make a career out ofit. Now I know how this drill
(03:20):
works. I've played this game.There are people who say, oh,
Michael, you don't think some kidsare good enough to go to college.
Oh Michael, you think this isfor dummies. And you think this,
and I hear it all not trueat all, because guess what, if
you want to go to college,I would argue most people will get more
(03:46):
out of the college academic experience ifthey wait till they're about twenty five.
Most kids, and I would say, I'm going to guess eighty to ninety
percent at eighteen years old coming straightout of high school, where let's be
honest, they've never made their ownbed. Most kids going straight from high
(04:13):
school into college is a continuation offrat parties. It is a continuation of
the dating process and the partying process, which is why so many kids get
out of high school, go totheir dream university and get kicked out first
(04:34):
semester, first year. They're notbad kids. A lot of them are
going to turn out to be reallygood kids. They're going to turn out
to be productive adults, but theywere not emotionally ready at eighteen to party
and go to school. You know, in particularly in finance and in certain
(04:58):
areas of business, used to bethe case, and I don't know if
this is still true now, butit probably is. That they didn't want,
you know, at investment banks andprivate equity firms and analysts and these
sorts of things. They didn't wantyou to go straight from your four year
college degree into an MBA. Theywanted you to work for two years and
(05:18):
then get an MBA. Because whatwe're talking about here is practical, useful
skills. At the end of theday, A lot of people have bought
the bull that a classroom is wherewe're learning the skills that are so important,
(05:43):
and by and large that's not true. The skills that are going to
be important for most people, notengineering, not physics, not mathematics.
The skills that are going to beimportant are going to be learned in life
life with experience under the tutelage ofa mentor, whether that is as a
(06:06):
plumber, electrician, carpenter, millright. I grew up around a bunch
of mill rights. I never hearabout mill rights anymore, iron workers,
welders, but so much more.There are so many other things that you
do, so many other things thatyou do. I mean, we fully
understand that it's not the classroom wherea football player develops into being a top
(06:31):
level entertainer for us all to enjoy. We fully understand that the top singers
and actors didn't learn their craft inthe classroom. Don't ask me about iman.
Why are you Sellygicky and Mersey.I'm in favor of making good decisions
good for you bc PC. That'sFrazoria County, Patrick Chemical County. If
