I was reading a thread about hiring an electrician and it seems that tradespeople are all very busy and getting responses is difficult, At the same time I read stories all the time about college graduates working at low paying jobs that have nothing to do with their degrees.
So I'm wondering if you had to give advice to your children (or in my case your grandchildren) would you recommend they learn a trade or go to college?
Clearly what you major in (cybersecurity is probably pretty attractive vs, say poetry) will affect your potential future earnings.
I might add that I worked at a trade (auto mechanic) before college and an MBA (don't hate me for it), so I have experience at both.
Clearly much of the decision depends on the child but to be honest I'm leaning toward trade.
What do you think?
