There are tons of jobs out there for trade skills. If you were to go straight from high school into trade school and obtain a skill you would be employed. Apparently getting your hands dirty equates to being stupid today. You can make 100k a year in a trade. The key to success is excellence. Get a trade skill, there are plenty of good paying jobs out there for skilled workers.

I didn't "need" a college education. I can do electronic repairs, hell, I can repair most anything really. BUT nobody around here would give me a chance and relocating was completely out of the question because of money. So after 5 or so years of finding nothing I decided school was my only option. Now I am a computer science major at the local university and I will be somewhere around $80K in debt by the time I finish. And to think... All of this was just to hope that I can have a chance to make a little more than minimum wage for the remainder of my life.
