    I know it’s not for everyone, but if you’re reading this maybe it’s for you. The trades! Be an electrician, HVAC, plumber, mechanic, etc. It pays well. I mean you’ll probably never get rich, but you’ll definitely be able to support a family. And, once you’re established you could open your own shop. Be your own boss. Know the satisfaction of building something, working with your hands.

    Not everyone needs college. I suspect we have enough art historians to get by. We definitely need more trades homies!

      If I could start over that’s probably the route I’d go. I’m in a reasonably good spot - I just know plenty of people who aren’t.
