[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your DC chose a path other than college or delayed college a bit tell me about their path. Technical college? Working? Gap? What had them eventually go to college or if they didn’t are the happy and well employed now (well in Normal times)?  TIA[/quote]

Me (wife): started at state school, hated it, dropped out, worked at a few odd jobs, then I got an associates in business. Child of European immigrants. I grew up lower working class. I make about $40k/yr as an insurance agent. I supplemented that for about five years at a restaurant (Very part time, done now).

DH: grew up in big Irish Catholic family. Went to Carholic hs, then small uni. Dropped out shortly after. Went to cc, got an associates degree, and then went to trade school, did apprenticeship. One of the lucrative but less taxing trades. Think electrician, welding, etc. He has a full time, stable job, not free lance or anything. Public sector. He makes $110k.

Our hhi is about $150k +rental income. We are in the rust belt. We had kids late. We are mid-50s so I don’t know if it’s possible for sometime to obtain that income w/o a bachelors today. [/quote]
