I completely agree. A lot if times too, with the trades that have a lot of demand you can go for free, so no student loan debt when you are done. Many of them pay close to "professional" jobs that require a 4 year degree.

I have a degree. After 3 years I got work in HR and the same people that were in high school with me were already artisans and earning more that I did in my entry level HR. But I am glad to say that after 10 years of hard work and becoming an HR SAP specialist in my field, they are finally getting paid double what I am.
