My daughter went to an overpriced indoctrination station that teaches life skills, sterling college in vermont. It was quite a great place. she learned how to plow fields with teams of oxen, care for horses and other livestock, grow food, spin wool after shearing the sheep, and the like. Not so much building, but certainly some along with general woodwork. She learned carpentry on the job building greenhouses. I'm very proud of her!

These are fantastic life skills even though I don't think many people are actually going to need to ever spin wool. If nothing else that would be a wonderful conversation topic and would really stand out on a resume. If one came across my desk at it said they know how to yoke oxen and spin wool I would take a step back and say "seriously? that's amazing."
I would be more inclined to call someone in for an interview with these line items rather than their GPA in a degree program.
Me too! And I was in the restaurant business! It's outside of the box that I appreciate. So needed nowadays. We're largely all the same now, useless eaters of a sort.
