Whatever will the “perfessers” of imaginary disciplines do if they cannot harvest the student loan dollars of dumb 18-year olds?

“there’s a sense of completion.”

very import, i spent years on projects that we were only part of and never saw completion of anything, just slotted into the next project when the handoff was done and it can be frustrating

seeing immediate results is very satisfying

GenZ better move quick.
30,000,000 illegals will
be competing for any
available trade jobs.
Especially in the
co struction trades.

If true, this is AWESOME! Screw the colleges. Screw the pinkos! Screw the crazies left-wing lunatics!
Only Engineering, medical and scientific; degrees need to be in college. Tue rest is BS.

They are also taking up appliance and small engine repair and other such hands-on tech trades. For years, people tossed items such as lawn mowers and appliances and purchased new ones (they now only last a few years), but with the economy, people are looking to repair those items in order to save money. Our local tech school and its four satellite campuses is reporting record enrollment.

Good. We need more in the skilled trades AND they don’t get marxist indoctrination when learning these trades.

Yeh, no panacea. Working and sweating outside, or freezing to earn a living. Ok, for some.

“Gen-Z is shunning college to take up traditional trades like welding and plumbing they say is far MORE SATISFYING ... “

Reminds me of Peter Gibbons holding his shovel saying, “F**king A”.

I’ve been posting/commenting on this very thing for a good while now.
Sure...it’s not for everybody, but for many it provides satisfying work with good pay. The goal is to get good at it and eventually start one’s own business.
IMHO, unless it it in STEM, college isn’t worth the $$$ and all the leftist BS.
Just about any so-called college degree with the word “studies” in it is pretty much worthless....even toilet paper has better usage....LOL
IE: general studies, bug studies, racial studies, dog poop studies, earthworm studies. etc....the list is long.
Everything liberalism/leftists touch, they destroy....EVERYTHING.

GOod.

People who work for a living and haven’t paid for 4 years of liberal brainwashing are more likely to vote conservative/republican.
