[quote=Anonymous]OP's question and the responses on here are indicative of the supply/demand imbalances in our economy. Ever since "No Child Left Behind" was signed into law, and the enormous growth in the student loan business, people have been sold a bill of good that in order to be financially "successful" one must go to college and have a white collar job. What OP's wife is discovering is that there are many jobs which require skills and training which would pay much more than her own white collar job. There is a huge demand for skilled trade workers in this country: the traditional "construction/mechanical" trades like plumbers, electricians, and mechanical repairman, but also fields like nursing, skilled medical technicians and dental hygienists, to name a few. But those are not as "prestigious" as a white collar admin job. [/quote]
