[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I sell 100% of my items on Facebook marketplace at the price I ask. Not sure why that isn’t working for you? I say no haggling. My prices are very fair.

But I agree with you. As a society we also don’t want 18 year olds working. We want them in trade school or in college. [/quote]

But then how do they pay for college or trade school according to all of the 50-80 year olds who worked their way through those avenues and didnt have loans and therefore cant conceive of why student debt is an issue?

Have you looked into trade school? My uncle is associated with a big one. It's free and they actually pay the journeymen too while they're training. Their struggle is getting kids without records and who don't do drugs (homeowners don't want people with criminal records working in their houses while they're at work). Pay isn't bad while you're training and when you start your own plumbing/welding company later on, the money is great.[/quote]

Friend of our's has a kid apprenticing in DC as an electrician right after HS.  Makes like $52,000 first year.  I have no idea if the parents knew someone to get their kid into the program or what.  [/quote]
