I agree with you about trade schools. Far too many go to college to “pursue my passion” instead of having a goal to make a good living.
I recently read an article about a jobless Museum Science major that was thrilled to get a $12,000/year position with a museum in Dumas, TX. That’s about as close to bum-f**k Egypt as you can get for a $7.80/hour job.
Likely, he/she would make more money memorizing this phrase, “Do you want fries with that?” LOL
I can tell you that the museum in Dumas, TX, is a wonderful place to be for a museum major. Too bad Dumas pays so little
