[quote=Anonymous]This dichotomy of college vs trades that I see on this board is false. There’s alot in between that, and not everyone who doesn’t go to college, decide to just go learn a trade (or vice versa). I don’t know the statistics but given the hoopla about declining numbers of tradesmen, I imagine that the vast majority of people who don’t go to college do not end up learning a trade. They just get regular jobs that don’t require a degree, like a bookkeeper, general office worker, admin/executive assistant, realtor, mechanic, airport worker, store manager, medical worker etc. Some start a business, like real estate, handyman or landscaping. This is the reality for most of the people that I personally know without college degrees. In my own life, say what you will but the people I know with college degrees are more content with their options and opportunities in life and more financially successful than the ones without. Life has turned out to be much easier for them.[/quote]
