My son took HVAC at the local community college. Started working for small commercial company. Fast forward…… He is a facilities director at a large hospital complex. Hard work got him there. Great money and diverse interesting work. He has moved forward over those with degrees due to his hard work.

The Trades are difficult because your work is immediately visible. This puts you under scrutiny that some people cannot handle.

Too many colleges are getting workforce grants to do this, yet here it seems like a great waste of money due to the small response of students attending. Seems there are more instructors than students.

Everything that Hass to do with a technical college can be taught in high school

Libs crushed for saying “Alina Habba, even after losing the case, gets paid millions from your donations & throws lavish parties in St. Bart’s luxury villas!”😂

All Colleges should lower their tuitions/Book costs because they’re too expensive!!!

[rodhonco]

There are so many great jobs in the Trades!

Especially Mechanics!

[snapfinger]

The trades are art & science. Hand eye coordination of a brain surgeon is helpful if you take up undersea welding.

My husband learned a Postrio class in high school, and we made a wonderful living for 55 years and now we’re retired. I wish those college people could look back at that.

Oh my goodness people may actually have to leave the house vs working "remotely" what a concept

[DesertScorpionKSA]

Good for them. We have too many useless college grads.

I graduated from a trade school in 1983. Cost my 1500 bucks . I started out at 15 bucks a hour in 1983 . When min wage was 3.35 an hour . At 30 years in to my vocational training my pay is almost 200k a year ! I’ve got friends that are plumbers carpenters car mechanics that’s making over 6 figures a year …. Mike is so right!!

...over the weekend the local news did a feature about the women who are becoming welders...they do well because they take direction better and have steadier hands than the guys...

[vanessapanek]

It creates on sportsman like competition when you keep testing around in schools and grades

[LivingAwake]

I’m not anti-college either. I’m against all the phony baloney degrees that creates competition for STEM. Too many idiots being graduated and driving the cost up for everyone. Yeah, I said it. Let the hate speech commence!

[Wolfcamp]

Going into trades means you will be competing with cheap foriegn labor for the rest of your life.
