Huh? I have three nephews in their early 20’s that are making over 70k a year and they only work 6 or 7 months out of the year, if that much. One is a certified diver and underwater welder. Another is a master mechanic/welder and the other is a certified explosives specialist. No college degree for either of them. They could likely not pass a college entrance exam but they don’t lose any sleep over that. They always have an abundance of job offers to choose from and have benefits that are astounding and they don’t depend on some damned union, college degree or government agency. Not that it matters but they have women beating down their doors because they are not wimped down college grads.

YOU LIE!! Big College has more than made it clear that they are the ONLY ticket to a strong income and employment stability. Sure you rack up a few debts going to Big College, but you come out WAY AHEAD.

Yep, that’s what they tell us...Unfortunately most adults believe that, and if their kid actually works for a living (i.e. diver, welder, explosives handler - instead of playing with a computer all day) they will have a HORRIBLE LIFE of servitude. Yep, that is what Big College tells us.
