Yes, ole boy. I'm with Lynxcat. We all need to go to college. We don't need to know plumbing or shop or any of that. That's what Mexicans are for!

I never said that everyone needs to go to college. The question posed in the OP was when the "scales tip against college" and I've provided reasoning for college being worth it economically and/or socially depending on the person.

I am a huge proponent of trade school and think it needs to be embedded into high school as well. Everyone should not go to college but that is a different question than the OP raised.

My dad renovated a really old house recently and his plumber (who is also his friend) was also a general contractor who specialized in bathroom and kitchen renovations.

Guy clears like 200k at least a year. He drives a fuggin sweet, brand new King Ranch and has 2 employees I think. He does really high end bathrooms/kitchens.

Apparently he comes from a pretty wealthy family and just built his business renovating bathrooms and kitchens in CCL and Bocage for his friends.

ETA:

I am really jealous of him. He seems to fricking love his job, is his own boss, and makes very good money.
