He's right you know.
I retired wealthy at 56 all due to serving a 4 year Tool and Die Apprenticeship that cost me nothing but the will to work and learn.... I try to tell kids to learn a trade, and they look at me like I'm a green bug....
My nephew is a mechanic and he is earning good money with good benefits while I am in contract and no benefits. 🤷‍♀️ but I am an accountant so everybody needs one.
Who's gonna tell all of the art history majors that their student loan debt is hard to pay off while working at Starbucks.
Right. The first question to a new college student should be, "How do you plan to pay off your student loans once you graduate?" and walk them through the reality of that. The result would be no more philosophy or womens' studies degrees.
They are only one election away from a socialist making their neighbor pay it off.
We have to get the fiat currency situation fixed. End the FED, the IRS, and most of the three letter agencies dissolved. Each subsequent generation gets softer. But, the current generation coming up has figured out that the game is rigged. So, why bother. And I'm not in that generation, I'm a Gen-X'er. However, I haven't done too bad, I've had many different jobs. I've learned something from every one, and I have the ability to take the things I've learned and apply them to different disciplines. I do most of my own auto and home maintenance, and upgrades. About 30 years ago I learned to mig weld. That was a game changer.
I wish I had been persuaded to pursue a career in a trade early on in my life, but I was told if I didn't have a college degree I wouldn't amount to much. I dropped out of high school and got my GED but I bounced around from job to job thinking I couldn't get much more because I didn't have a degree. The school system really failed me in their quest to get me to conform.
