pull down to refresh

I remember learning years ago that if I could show up on time sober and not lie or steal I'd be at the top of most labor jobs. Our society is screwed up. Entitled and depressed. We need people that can fix our stuff. We need to respect people. For several years I worked as the tech guy for training programs that trained teachers in the skilled trades. Its ridiculous how everyone is pushed to universities vs. what they are suited for. Trades are needed and should be respected but instead are treated like fast food work culturally. Its absurd. I think there is hope it will change. Mike Roe is a great advocate and has influenced many in a positive direction.

I don't know how to explain knowing some of the tradesmen spent years mastering one skill yet not even earning what they deserved.

Skilled trades pay quite well in the US. The biggest issue I continue to hear is there are not enough people going into them. It is stupid and shows the power of propaganda and stigma.

Too many teenagers are going to college

The ROI doesn't make sense for everyone to go. It never did and it sure doesn't today. That was never the idea. Its a rigged system. That's not to mention the quality and cost being insanely off.

College tuition is out of control.
Student loans are a racket.
Regarding loan forgiveness, the colleges should pay for forgiveness not the taxpayers
My last student loan payment will be in 2025. I didn’t pay off early because of the low interest rate
