[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College graduates (you can Groq or GPT this) have better outcomes than non-college grads across the Board on average (health, finance, family stability) & there is an ROI for getting a degree.  That being said, it is easy to come up with anecdotes for non-degreed success stories and vice versa.

It was leaked recently an email from Peter Thiel that the tech titans are nervous with the unaffordability of college & housing that this generation may become disenchanted with capitalism (putting the position of Silicon Valley concentrating wealth at risk).  I believe this resulted in a push across the 'manosphere' against elite universities + a pro-tradie propaganda push (I think the trades are great, but the data tell us you are better off with a degree).

[b]If there is a real passion for the trades, learning a trade while attending a commuter school/community college could be a better option[/b].[/quote]

This is my child - currently at community college and in training to be a luthier. Definitely a niche trade, but it fits with their interests and strengths, and they'll eventually have a bachelor's degree, although likely a few years after their peers. [/quote]
