I just saw a report that stated unemployment amongst college grads was 4%-5% which IMHO is pretty good.

For high school grads it was much higher.

To me this say's unless you want to flip burgers you better get a degree/license/certification in a good field.

Going back to the original post: "Can you get the vac to blow instead?" No. Vacuums are low pressure so they by nature "suck" and nature abhors them.

Reminds me of the old WC Fields line...."suck my dear, blow is just an expression".
