>Some do better going to a trade school.<

One of my older brother’s buds was enrolled as a Comp Sci frosh at university. The registrar screwed up and gave him the plumbing and maintenance curriculum for their “smaller” extension school and he was livid. The registrar explained it will take a week to find another slot so he went to the tech school for 1 class. He listened and liked it.

He attended the 2nd class while the office was looking for a slot for him, and he liked what he was hearing. Fast forward 10 years later, he holds the maintenance contracts for 30 apartment buildings and a staff who does the job for him.

Reminds me of a joke I once heard years ago. A man was talking about his ten children. Three were lawyers, three were engineers and three were doctors. When asked about the tenth he said "Oh my first born son, he is a plumber, he put the other nine through college.".
