Amen. I make more money in the trades than most college graduates. For you kids on poal who are trying to figure what you want to do when you grow up, I would give the trades some consideration…
yep when I got out of the military I used VA.bene’s to get a degree (thankfully it was a STEM related course of study) however when I talk to young guys now doing the same thing I suggest the trades as well. In fact I kinda regret not going that route but at least I studied something halfway marketable.
Close, kids of Poal the trades are what you need to do to pay for higher education. Go work as a welder, mechanic, plumber, electrician, plumber etc. as you work on an engineering degree or better. Obtain a degree and a skill, not kike ran debt.

Or make it your career and use it as a path to entrepreneurship. I’m a licensed contractor and I’m my own boss, and one benefit is that I don’t have employers threatening to fire me if I don’t get vaccinated. My business is also considered an “essential service”, so I’ve been able to work when others are forced to stay home.
Yup, I'm back to contracting. Rose to foreman and then superintendant for a HUGE company. Got tired of my job shack, ipad, BIM models, meetings, RFI's, arguing with other trades, babysitting kids, bla bla bla. I bid my shit now, refuse to wear a mask for any customer, work alone and use tools again!
It's refreshing.
