[quote=Anonymous]That’s great OP. Not every kid’s strengths lend themselves to 4 year college degrees. The important thing, whether your kid goes the college route or not is to obtain marketable skills. I do vocational work as part of my job. One thing to be aware of. Some skilled trades, a welding is one, are very hard on your body. By the time you are in your 50s, there is a good chance a welder has injuries or significant wear and tear and cannot physically do the job. Not everyone. But most people. Your kid should have a plan for what happens as her ages. One great path is to take some community college business classes and start his own company and hire younger welders and transition to management as he ages. [/quote]
