Was the A-Team Comprised of Career College Graduates? A Closer Look
May 27th, 2009“In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire… The A-Team.”
Though they claim to be “ex-special forces,” one could argue that some of their qualifications can be certified at many of your local technical and career colleges. Think about it. All that welding, crime solving, big rig driving, gun maintenance and electronics wizardry – it’s got career college graduate all over it.
There are some differences. Like that whole, “MAYBE you can hire The A-Team.” Usually, career college students make it as easy as possible for potential employers to hire them, but since The A-Team is pretty special, maybe they’re a bit more picky about their employers. That’s understandable.
Let’s have a closer look at the possible degrees Murdock, B. A. Baracus, Hannibal and Faceman Peck could have earned from your local career college.
Henry “Howling Mad” Murdock – Aeronautics
Mad Murdock is easily capable of flying anything with rotors or wings, including passenger planes, fighter jets, and helicopters to get the gang into or out of trouble. He may be certifiably crazy (like a fox) but he’s definitely certified in aeronautics as well.
B.A. Baracus – Auto Technology, Small Engine Mechanic, Machine Trades
B.A. always said, “With a pair of pliers and a little time, I can fix anything but dinner.” So definitely no culinary diploma for B.A. He pities the fool that ain’t got no education!
Hannibal – Business Management
Hannibal makes the plans, screens the clients, makes the connections, kicks the tires and lights the fires. He’s the unofficial leader of The A-Team, and his management skills assure the TV viewing audience that his 3 mercenaries won’t tear each other to shreds before the next daring do. That’s moxie, people.
Templeton “Face” Peck – Marketing, Hospitality Management
Every good marketer has a con-man hidden inside, and Face is definitely good at that. He makes connections, he finds and provides anything the team needs or desires, he lives the good life. He rolls in a Corvette that has this newfangled device called a “cell phone” and is always figuring out ways to stay at the most posh resorts.
