Honestly, how did you know? I've got a few years left before our family has to start making decisions about schools, but now all my foundational assumptions are out the window. We need an alternate guide to higher education. Where did your son end up going and why? What were the alternate choices? I trusted and believed in our institutions and agencies until Covid and so my world is upside down.

Our medical system has truly lost its way here in America ๐Ÿ˜ž and so I would highly suggest going the other way. Blue collar is the way to go. The people are honest, hard-working and can sometimes be very colorfulโ€ฆ I would trust them more than I would trust any doctor right now! And the pay is pretty darn good!

And if you noticed during all of this Covid craziness, a lot of the blue-collar workers saw right through ALL of this from the very beginning. Very smart people!

My son has a co-op with a local company. Heโ€™s going into mechanical engineering. At one point, all of the welders and such got together and decided they were going to quit โ€œin massโ€ if the shot was mandated. I think the higher-ups knew they would lose their shirt and their company if they mandated this crap. They tried to have a mask mandate alsoโ€ฆ Some of the blue colors told them where to stick their maskโ€ฆ absolutely hilarious ๐Ÿ˜‚

Just a thoughtโ€ฆ One of my other sons is going to be a machinist and they are literally throwing money at these kids.

I have five sons by the wayโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜

I pray for all of our kidsโ€ฆ The world we are living in is absolutely upside down.

We are in Massachusetts and all institutions here require the vaccine, so that narrowed the list! :). "No College Mandates" is a good source for information.

I am very vocal with the college I went to. I advise people to speak up, most people I spoke to at my alumni office agree with me but no one ever says it out loud. They actually appreciate hearing it, it helps them when making decisions. The groups on the college campuses making the policies and decisions are usually very small. While touring schools, you definitely get a feel for the atmosphere.

I like your ideaโ€ฆ If there are mandates, then that school is probably crap! ๐Ÿ‘
