The truth of the matter is that the average student graduating High School in the US has a very low chance of getting a $50 per hour job and you and I both know it.
Again if you do not have a technical/trade school cert or a college degree you are at a great disadvantage as my high IQ nephew and Mr. GG2’s high IQ son have learned the hard way.
More dumbing down of the American Youth! Any education is worthwhile and to say it is not is pure BS!
I am a tradesman that went into business and with the business education I did not get made things tougher! Business OJT is not pretty!
But you can get a technical cert for a less than $10k. Some obtain them for the cost of the book...about $40.
