We don’t dismiss it, but if your kid is college material, im talking true college material aka stem aka pre law or pre med or finance, accounting, engineering. Etc etc not general studies degree type…well college is a much much better avenue
A) trades do not make bank at fricking all. I did it for years, trust me unless you consider 25/hour bank than 99% do not. Sure business owners do and a few specialty guys and then you got the OT whores who make a lot yearly but work 70-80 a week to do so. That’s not a life
B) trades are hard af, hard on your body, your mind, hard on the family, just fricking hard. Ever tried pulling wire in an attic or running galvanized screw pipe for gas lines or climb in a vessel to weld in may-September? shite is absolutely miserable. Not to mention terrible for your health
The trades are a way for the class clowns to make a middle class salary and be happy. They are not for the 3.5gpa with the even 25 act score. Sorry but it’s not
Just like college is only really for about 30% of the population, trades are not for that 30%.
And what about women? Think they fricking want to go build shite in 95* with 90% humidity wearing FR?
How many tradesman do you think make it to a superintendent level to start making $40+ an hour? How many you think get a masters license and the funding needed to start a business? You guys have very little fricking clue what goes on the trades and how you advance to even have the right to open a business
Yall just shout…send them to trade school….thats cool, they can work for my kids one day.
