I don’t know a plumber or electrician who made under 100k last year, even the laziest of the lazy ones I know (probably 25 combined). Some made over 250k. None of them have any student debt. None are baristas or DoorDash for extra cash. Only one electrician I know is a renter. I would encourage kids, especially boys, this is the way.


Not disputing your personal anecdote, but every single study proves that college graduates make considerably more then non college graduates. It gets even more skewed with graduate degrees.

It’s not a debate. Wishing it to be doesn’t change that reality.

BYU grads have a strong presence in the field of finance. You never have to worry about them coming to work hungover.

While true, it is still a bullshite narrative.

Non-college grads includes drop outs.

Tech trades make bank, and with very little (if any) student debt.

It is a great option imho.

That being said, you are generally working with your back and your hands, so that should be taken into consideration.
