College is over-rated, 4-Year Degrees Not for Everyone
Don’t blame your parents. America convinced itself that an extended education period – think 4 years, 6 years, 8+ years – was the way to success and wealth. Expensive and Time Consuming, huh!?
Consider that…
- 27% of Trade School Grads Earn More than College Grads
- 21% Are More Likely to Work in their Field of Choice
- 4% Have Higher Employment Opportunities – and the Gap in Skilled Trades Pros is GROWING
- $65,000 is the Average Salary for Skilled Trades Jobs
Fact is college is vastly over-rated. So, please don’t start thinking of apprenticeships and on-the-job training as a kind of consolation prize.
Maybe think of your life this way. Where do you want to be? What do you enjoy doing? Would you be happier sitting in a corner office, or building it?
There are many paths to contribute to society, civilization. Choose the one that suits you BEST… Your Talent, Your Interests, Your Time and Your Career Goals.
