I'm a teacher, and I push for kids to consider the trades on a nearly daily basis. Find a job that other people can't, or don't want to do, and you can get paid!

Thanks. I'm 37 now and got pressured to go to college. I'm kinda glad I have my degree as it has opened some doors, but literally nothing I learned there applies to any of my higher earning jobs.

I would've been better off not being saddled with debt (still am)
