Teachers and leaders of American Society need to stop telling our kids to go to College!

I havent posted here in years but after reading some of the BS in here, whew I have to say as a tradesman it gets by blood boiling.

First of all there is nothing wrong with getting your hands dirty at work or breaking a sweat. Stop being pussies, stop looking down on people who enjoy doing more work with their body then mind. These people grow your food and build your homes, plumb in your water and gas and fix your vehicles.

I think a lot of youth are scared to take labour jobs not because they dont want to work, that is something that comes with experience. But because society has cast these essential roles in a negative light.

What do I do? Im a welder, as a first year apprentice with little to no experience and no technical training I made $72,000 my first year. I know many journeyman welders who make over $100 an hour and top $250,000 a year and I will be happy to join them when I go for my last term of school in oct.
