re: High-Paying Trade Jobs Sit Empty, While High School Grads Line Up For University

Worked as a granite installer for 4 years before I woke up one day and said “frick this” and went to College. I hold all tradesmen to an extremely high standard. Taking pride in craftsmanship is a dying art.
That being said, I feel like all 4 year degrees should be similar to Nursing...2 years learning fundementals in a classroom then 2 years on the job training. I learned more in my first 6 months on the job out of school than I did all 4 years combined.

I can't stress this enough. There is no way I'd send a kid to business school and not have them in an internship or co-op program. My nephew just graduated with a finance degree. He interned with a Fortune 500 company for three years. At graduation, he rolls into a management program that pays $60K/yr and has a company vehicle.
A friend of mine works for Goldman Sachs. He said that 90% of their new hires are co-ops or interns.
