12/29/2005 | I worked hands on with building and fixing computers for years before I ever picked up a textbook. Turning wrenches is where the real learning begins.
Books teach theoreticals, hands on teaches practicals. Besides, I have the most fun when buried up to my armpits in computer parts that need assembling, much more so then reading some dry technical manual about the process.

12/12/2005 | Its all about who you know. If you can get hooked in with the right people, its easy pickins. I trained in satellite and sound with my brother, and there is better money in that than all the nitwits that I went to school with are making after going to school for six years and going into debt with student loans.

08/23/2003 | This could be a very effective way of learning a field. Learning out of a textbook only goes so far in some professions and you need on the job training to master your work. However, it is not a substitute for an education. One of the purposes of an education is to consolidate knowledge. You see how things are interconnected to one another. With on the job training, you are really only picking at the edges. A career will be enhanced dramatically with being knowledgeable.

08/22/2003 | With the right company, this can be great. There are some that will still let a college boy pass you up after your training, however. Still, the only way to truly understand a business, ANY business, is to work in that field for a while. I work in the mortgage business. Every single day I learn something new about this business, and it's always something that you'll never learn from a book or class. I'm sure this applies to most businesses. Experience is always the best teacher.
