    learning a trade should be more encouraged, you can make a shit ton of money (relatively) without the debt

      This isn’t even true in a lot of places now. If you have a college nearby, expect your local trade school to have tuition similar to that college.

      True, but that might take you 10 years to get to a point where you’re no longer the new person and have skills to back it up.

        that goes for any skilled labor. doesn’t make what i said any less true.

        also, there are paid apprenticeships with unions if you look.

      Yes, but only because of shortage of people in that field, and good luck working in it as a disabled person! Most likely you’ll work under someone else, and that’s not like helping your father do gardening work, so there will be hard quotas and deadlines.

      True, but that isn’t an option for everyone and we still need scientists and doctors and such.

          College stuff up in elementary schools is pretty crazy.
