re: Is there anything that I should know before trade school?

I have a friend that did refrigeration,I’m talking about refrigerators and freezers for restaurants and grocery stores and he did very well.
Worked for himself and his wife took care of all the billing and other paperwork.

Don’t discount college just because you hate high school.I hated school all 12 years of it.
I tried running heavy equipment for awhile,boring as hell and doesn’t pay that well unless you want to live in a camper and travel all over the country building highways and,such.
I went to college and excelled.I became a nurse which is definitely not for everybody but I enjoyed it,for a couple reasons.First I liked the sciences(only classes I liked in school) and it was very interesting and fulfilling.Weather was always nice,lots of eye candy around a hospital.
There are other jobs that pay well-ultrasound,CT or MRI tech.A really interesting job is echocardiography.and there is a shortage of them.

Whatever,definitely don’t quit high school.
