A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

I know people with master's degrees who work in construction. They could have saved a lot of time and money by entering construction from the start.

There is nothing wrong with a trade. Most of my family works in a trade.

I think the problem is people have focused on college degrees as being magical, and people rush to get them without thinking how they will benefit them or make them employable.

Plumbers, electricians, and carpenters all make good money.

If we every want to grow out middle class, that is how we do it.
