If I were a young man, I wouldn’t waste my time with college, I would be looking to get certified as an electronic technician. Automation is the future. There will be a demand for people who keep the lines running.
Except of course everyone, no matter how skilled, will make $15 an hour. On second thought why waste money on education.
Become a programmer, write the code for the burger-maker machine, and also get your electrician’s certification so you can install and troubleshoot them.
I have E-techs in my heavily automated business. Hard to find and very well compensated.
