Default High school diploma.......that’s a joke

I read this today, and I have to shake my head. I’ve been at one of Alberta’s larger colleges for the past 14 years. I’ve seen my fair share of students coming through with a high school diploma, and I can safely say it’s not worth much....
I’m sorry if this offends anyone, but it’s not worth the paper it’s printed on.
I spent the majority of my day at the college doing open house, now aside from these kids being young, they have no idea on what the real world has in store for them. In a world of no child being left behind, we’re setting these kids up for failure.
As far as not getting the job, count your blessings, if the guy in the office is that wet behind the ears, you wouldn’t be happy there. If they can’t recognize the experience base you have and red seal in your pocket....
Just my 2 cents....and maybe because I’m a red seal tradesmen as well, but I feel your pain.
