its so funny. can always tell the ones who have never worked in the trades...they always tell everyone to go into it

I grew up in construction and worked construction for years before going to college at 30 and then law school.

I would tell most kids considering college these days, unless they are going to be an engineer or work in STEM, or go to med school, they should at least seriously consider trade school to work at a chem plant, or to be a plumber, or weld, or to drive heavy machinery.

A lot of the trades would be significantly more lucrative than advanced liberal arts degrees and they could go to work with no debt.
