yeah I don’t know if I’d suggest college to everyone. My friends who stayed in college aren’t doing so well. I work a trade job out in the sun in Florida which is not ideal but at least I’m doing well. I don’t go to school reunions because I don’t want people to tell me they’re in their climate-controlled offices on the phone.

I suggest college to anyone who wants to enroll to learn a skill, a marketable skill. Something like engineering, medicine, computer science.
But if the goal is a degree in English Literature, better take some time to rethink that position before shelling out all that tuition money.
You have nothing to be ashamed of. There’s great honor in the trades. The idiots are the arrogant office drones who look down on you until they need to call you for help screwing in a light bulb cause they can’t handle it. Charge accordingly.
My brother-in-law is like that. He looks his nose down at my kids because they chose careers they wanted, not what he said they should do. One has no degree and is a book editor. Know what she’d be doing if she had a degree? She’d be a book editor.
