Absolutely. When my nephew had to make a decision on going to college or going to trade school, the High School counselors pushed college, but his parents had a frank discussion with him on his ability to make it through four years of college. After discussing it with his parents he went to trade school to become an HVAC technician. He now makes enough to have purchased a small house and start a family. Had he gone to college he would graduated in 2020. He worked through the COVID mess

A lot of those young people that dropped out my daughters first year never went back to school and she knows one young lady who was working retail until COVID. She was barely making it before COVID and has no desire to go back to work, guess why? She has become a free-rider on society.

Your nephew made a very smart decision.

There are lots of young people coming out of Universities now with degrees that are useless to them economically, and useless to the real needs of our society. Your nephew is always going to have a job.
