Depends on your definition of decent living. I know a lot of union workers at my place of work who have a high school diploma and two houses, new cars, etc. My company trains them for what is needed. They show up with basic literacy, the ability to lift 50lbs, the ability to follow directions and play nice with others. My company takes care of the rest. Meanwhile I have a college degree and I'm still paying off student loans, my mortgage, and a used car.

First off, I am going to call BS on this, 2 houses and they only pass basic literacy etc.?,
Second, IF this is true, then this is an issue with your company, or maybe your "college degree" isn't worth as much as these other workers
