I disagree. Going to college and getting a degree shows that a person has enough self-discipline to buckle down and accomplish something. It is easier now than ever to get a degree. Between night classes and online couurses there is no good reason why a quality person can't get a college degree. Alot of us worked very hard to get a degree, and managed to work full-time while doing it. It is not impossible. I do think that the BSA needs to indentify quality people regardless of their degree status and then perhaps help them to go to college and get their degree through tuition reimbursments. pcowan, you should encourage and enable your development director to get a degree. It will be something they can take with them no matter where they end up in life. To not do so is a disservice to that person. The BSA should be an organization where people are encouraged and enabled to constantly be growing and bettering themselves. FYI I believe the term you wanted to use is "Shortsighted". "Shortsided" is when the other team has more player on the field nthan you team
How about an incentive for those of us who are fluent in other languages. This would encourage others to seek language training independently and make it worth their while.
Own up to what you say. That's what responsible adults do. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. I'm Pete Maskovich and I approve this message.
Devices for how you can text. That's the dumbest thaing I've ever heard of. Maybe we should give everyone an english interpreter strip so you nerds can communicate with the rest of the world.
