[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's great, OP. My son is an engineer and had to learn basic welding as part of his degree requirements. He found it challenging and rewarding, and really respects the people who taught him this skill. Going into a trade can be an excellent career choice, though [b]I hope that your son also has an opportunity somewhere along the way to pursue other interests that might inspire him[/b] -- not because I think those are more prestigious, but because he might find joy in being a welder who also loves poetry or art or who is knowledgeable about political issues. No matter what path he takes, I wish your son all the best! [/quote] I don't understand this part of your comment. Are you suggesting that a college education allows students an organized way to "pursue other interests that inspire" and that going into a trade doesn't? [/quote]
