Very Cool BBS. A "D" Class Gasser. Ed "Isky" Iskenderian was a pioneer in the sport and his name is still well known throughout the racer community. Your Dad must have had a lot fun and stories during that time.


Absolutely, my father was a character and that's an understatement. He was your quintessential Alpha male but not in a douche or egotistical way. Friends and family described his as the "Cool uncle/ Cool dad of the neighborhood". I could write a book on his life and the hilarious BS that we all encountered over the years. :lol: Thanks :cheers:

No. Tradesmen do very well without college. It would be a waste of their time and money to do “some college.”


That’s why I prefaced it as depends on the career. Some careers absolutely require a college degree to be employed, obtain a license to practice, etc

I was gonna be ugly, but I’m trying something new. What I think you mean is that education and training are requirements. I agree. But secondary education in the form of 2 or 4 year colleges are absolutely not necessary. Apprenticeships, trade schools (I guess you could argue that’s secondary education) or on the job training are all that is required.


Why would you be “ugly” if what I stated was correct? Most trade careers require further training/ education beyond H.S. be it in the form of trade school/ vocational school, on job education /training. I made no mention of a 2yr or 4yr college degree requirement.

I am wondering how important colleges will be in the future.


Depends on the career, some college is an absolute necessity.

Many jobs do not require secondary education, but they also pay accordingly. Not a ton of only HS Diploma/GED and high pay jobs unless you start/own your own business/Sales

Even most trades require secondary education.
