The point is that contrary to what some Freepers believe, not every study can master all the curricula in a university (college is over rated.)

But yet, every study CAN master plumbing, electrical, HVAC, carpentry, auto mechanics, and NEVER be unemployed.....(or need to hire or get ripped by a crook mechanic!)self sufficient?

side note.. (HVAC in the south is known as a recession proof trade) People will hock their BMW to get A/C in the summer.

Those trades are good if you’re 18 or 20 but impossible if you’re older ... I know HVAC better than 99% of the people in the business (I have a mobile a/c cert) but if you do the comm college course and get the ticket the HVAC companies want you cutting your fingers bending sheetmetal for $8/hr (same as their unskilled mexican help) for at least 2 to 3 years before you get a truck of your own.. just can’t do it later in life when you have responsibilities.
