If one has really solid skills and work ethic, one doesn't need union protection. I remember when I was in a union. I did the bare minimum to get by and got a decent paycheck for it.
Now I get paid based on what I have to offer...and that pay comes out to many times what I used to get paid when I was in a union. Also, I know there is a direct correlation between how hard I work and how much I make.
Sure, not everyone can be exceptional...but why reward mediocrity?

I am a master carpenter the likes of which you cannot even understand. I have been doing this job for decades. Construction management does not require classrooms and they in fact teach bullshit. You are a credentialist

Zappa don't need no fancy book learning, he can measure 2x4s with the best of the high school dropouts.

I'm also a carpenter and I find that insulting. ..
you obviously know nothing about carpentry, a good carpenter needs intelligence and ingenuity, freeform problem solving. Its not just about stacking boards. Everyone thinks its so easy until they try it themselves. .. then hire me to fix it realizing how arrogant and full of shit they were I agree with zappa, hands on experience is superior to formal training. I have seen it - guys who know things in theory but have trouble actually applying that knowledge in reality, and still, I see guys being lazy and using their certification as a backstop for shitty real world performance.

yes because running a construction/carpentry operation is just the same as measuring a 2x4 maybe if you ever did something with your hands you'd realize this.

Funny thing, many can't read a tape measure.
Your desire to score points really does you no favors.
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

What points?
Zappa rails on unskilled and uneducated laborers when it seems he's just that.
If I get points for pointing out hypocrisy then ok.

I work with my hands 50 hours a week.
Do you think you gain anything by responding to assummptions with another assumption? lol
The way most of you toss around wanton hyperbole you think you'd actually recognize it sometimes.

You've been called out enough on this quote, so what's one more?
I invite you to perhaps look into your own need to resort to this kind of attack. If Zappa is as dumb as you're implying, why not just dominate him with your intellect? Why resort to this kind of thing?

Carpentry takes a lot of skill, to survive 35 years in the business is not easy.
again you have no idea what it takes to do Carpentry, calling it unskilled labpur is super arrogant, patronizing, and ignorant. I'd like to see you run a crew and build an 80 unit apartment complex in 6 months LOL you would crash and burn, you have no idea.

No shit.
My point is if you're an employer and you have to hire someone, you're gonna hire the guy with a Bachelor's degree instead of the guy who might be smart without it.
