Sometimes People say the Dumbest Things !! For Those smart People!

OK I admit right up front , I should have stayed in school and became a teacher or something along those lines. I didn't and that is what it is . But have you ever heard from someone , well I worked hard in school finished my degree and therefore too bad , you make what you make . Oh really?

Well let me say straight up , good for you . Education is great but I have met just as many people without a degree who have as much smarts as some with a PhD. My grandfather was a very smart man . Could build anything . My Dad is one of the most generous men and forgiving men I have ever known  but only grade 8. I could name many more . My Mom was smart , funny and counseled  more people than any shrink .

My point is what if everyone got that degree. Say hypothetically every person right now wants to be only a engineer. That is everyone . No doctors,teachers,Computer Techs and also no one to pour your coffee , no clerks at your local store , no factory workers , no janitors etc.... what would happen ? The country would cme to a stand still . 

Obtaining an education is a good thing.But it is not a reason  for anyone to become smug about their accomplishments. Plus I have also encountered those who think that those who haven't obtained their level of education deserve whatever they get. I may be partial but my wife is a hair stylist and she worked hard to get her degree. She works hard and loves what she does , but many out there think she is over priced so they go the cheap and these people make a crap load of money. To them I say go stuff it. You like your wages , oh but I deserve it you say . Really , so the rest of us don't deserve to make enough to live .

Yes a Doctor should be paid well but why does a janitor toil hard at making his office clean and fit for you to visit not make a decent wage. I will tell you why? We are a greedy , money grabbing, selfish , self absorbed society . Sinful to the core. Oh we give to causes because its cool but if its the family down the street who are struggling to make ends meet , thats their problem. Pull up the bootstraps or well they didn't get an education , as you drive by in your new car on the way to your cottage. 

Do I sound angry . Yep! Am I frustrated because I cannot get a sniff, even at jobs I know I could do and learn because I don't have a paper . Plus  I simply cannot afford to go back to school right now .

Within the Church this type of thing does not have any place(read James 2). When we come together as one body in Christ there is no room for favorites or bragging. All we have we owe to God. Those God raises up He does so for His glory . We should be known for our generosity, one to another , and to our neighbor . If we have little may we be also content , realizing we are rich in Christ.
