Ha ha, wouldn't ya know....and this comes as no surprise:

There it is, it's official, a hort degree is the second most useless degree out there.

Sure I learned quite a bit regarding hort during my years in skool, much of which has helped me since. However, as most everyone here would agree, nothing beats hands on experience. If you want to go to skool with a desire to start a landscaping business later, opt for a business degree instead. The only way to earn a decent living with this crap is to either run your own business or be a highly sought designer/salesman. I've seen too many of my former classmates reduce themselves to maintenance laborers for area companies after graduation...why even go to skool for that? :alien::alien::alien:

That's true, and yes, you're a genius. :alien::alien::alien:

Did you spell skool incorrectly on purpose??
And thanks for the heads up! I was going to pursue a degree in hort but not anymore! My hat is off to those that do pursue it, though. They've got their heart in the right place. More power to them.

I thought he spelled "skool" quite well. Just look at how well "turd grade edumacation" is spelt.

No one wants to spend 6 1/2 years like MinnieMower did to get his degree.

You'd stay that long too if you got to play with all the hot college girls at your disposal. Why hurry up and graduate? :alien::alien::alien:

Ya making 62k annual sitting behind a desk just simply designing maintenance programs for commercial clients ,projecting the costs , and than handing it over to sales,,,, ya that degree is pretty useless.

$62k is pretty atypical for a hort grad w/ little field experience. Most either venture into some other field a couple years after graduation or go back to school. :alien::alien::alien:

Those media pigs at L&L just suck.

They will sell your name to anyone and expect the spam emails and phone calls to roll in.

I avoid these issues by using a dedicated spam trap e mail account I don't even check and the phone # of the Wilkes-Barre, PA police.
