Amen. Would never recommend an engineering degree. Spend the time and money on certifications. Welding, plumbing, mechanic.
Welding, plumbing, mechanic = lifetime of little or no heat and AC work environment.

My BIL’s son went to college to become an engineer. At get togethers while in college I heard him say he would never do another toilet install in his life. (started as a helper for his dad at age 12-13)
He was an engineer of some sort for over 10 years, was laid off in the 2008/2009 recession, rehired for 4-5 more years then that company was bought out and he was told to move to a new location with less pay.
Had enough of the uncertainty of working for someone else came back, ate crow and took over his dads plumbing business and is making 6 figures with no stress.
