Got a philosophy degree in 1981, managed to get into a technical field and did well, now retired. Today I’d go for a trade no question. I shudder to think what a philosophy degree entails these days. Two of my professors were WWII vets, they had no illusions about the world.
I agree. One of my sons is a trucker. He loves his job. Most of his friends went to trades.
One started college and went into trucking.
