From Wikipedia

I think the trades are great, and you can make a lot of money and have a good life if you are talented in them. [/quote]

His background doesn’t necessarily invalidate his opinion.  [/quote]

No, it doesn't. But that's just like his opinion, man. It's not the life he lived.

I have relatives who have done very well in the trades, and they also showed talent very early in life.

My talents laid elsewhere, much like Mike Rowe's and I had to, like Mike Rowe, earn a college degree to pursue them.  And, like him, the degree was not from an ivy league school or even close, but it was what I needed.

The world needs all sorts of skills. [/quote]
