[quote=Anonymous]First- this guy is not credible. Second, I am all for encouraging “trades” for kids. BUT be aware of the life that comes with it. Often, no or little paid vacation, poor benefits and frankly a tough work environment. Our friends kid is a welder. Still trying to get into a union shop so no paid vacation, no benefits and in summer the shop that goes from 80 degrees to over a 100. If she wants to start a family, imagine doing that job pregnant? My own son wants to be a chef. I worked in a fine dining restaurant in college where most of my co-workers did not go to college. Many slep t until noon and went out all night and did hard drugs (cocaine bc it was early 90s). You work every holiday. It is a tough life. Also to make big $ in a trade, you eventually need to own your own business and having some college classes would be really helpful! my plumber and his apprentice son both went to college. [/quote]
