Dan Perrin Quotations

Much of education is out of touch with the value of practical experience compared to academic experience when it comes to technical trainer positions. When I spoke to ASE about this, I used our newsletter as an example. It had seven ads in it for automotive faculty and six out of the seven required at least a bachelor's degree. In reality, when it comes to automotive degrees, an associate's degree is pretty much the routine degree that technicians would secure.

There are hardly any schools giving four-year bachelor's degrees in automotive, and that creates a dilemma because you are asking for a person with technical experience and academic experience at a level that the majority of the people you are trying to employ don't have.

Billions of dollars that used to be written in the form of checks with insurance companies' names on them would instead go to credit unions, banks, and long-term investment houses. You know America: you see a financial opportunity and it sets off a gold rush.

The businesses that need to look at health savings accounts are those who are getting killed by health care costs. That's GM to Gene's Coffee Shop. It doesn't matter who you are. It's totally irrelevant the size or shape of your business, because everybody's getting hurt by this.
