Good idea! I congratulate you on your decision. Now, if you'll just take a moment to listen, let me tell you how the remainder of your life is going to go:
Okay, so you graduate high school- or drop out and get your GED, which seems likely, as that seems to be the majority of the crowd who ends up in trade school Everyone's talking about what college they want to attend, but you think to yourself "Naw, a higher education isn't for me!" See, a few months back, somebody named "M4keAm3r1caGr34t4g41n" on Freedomeagle DOT facebook shared an infographic showing you how you can make up to EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLARS PER YEAR if you go to trade school instead! Hot dog!!! So you enroll in trade school, where they teach you to weld. Woohoo! You graduate, and then you head out into the real world, eager to make that easy 80k Only there's a small problem... you didn't realize that every single other ####### dropout from your school had the exact same idea. There are so many welders out there, so much competition, that you can't find anyone to hire you! If only you had something to set you apart from the crowd... like say, a degree? But no, you were to good for that, so now you're standing behind a counter serving me my Big Mac But hey, it's not all bad. You might only have to work for McDonald's for five, ten years or so before somebody finally decides to hire you. Great! And then it's easy street from here on out, right? Well, sure... for a couple of years. You really are making decent money, don't get me wrong- until you hurt yourself. Drat! Too bad trade school only taught me to do PHYSICAL labor!!! Even if you're lucky enough to not hurt yourself, guess what? You're going to get old. "Trade school" jobs aren't something you can do forever, and when your time is up, guess what? You're screwed, because trade school teaches you to do literally one single thing So now you are unable to work in the only field you have ANY kind of knowledge in, and guess what? That's right, back to McDonald's with you

sorry op but your post is inherently flawed. there is a major shortage of welders in america. that's why the pay is so good. i knew a guy who claimed to only be a mediocre welder who made 6 digits annually.
stay in school though |

I'm sorry, that just isn't true And if you go to literally any welding company and ask the EMPLOYED welder to do something for you, I guarantee he has a college degree

and every entitled rich boy had the same idea of going to college for a STEM or computer degree
"Only there's a small problem... you didn't realize that every single other ####### dropout from your school had the exact same idea.

there is 360,000 welders in the US as of 2012, there isn't a lot of them
"Drat! Too bad trade school only taught me to do PHYSICAL labor!!!"
honestly you're weak if this is a problem. i've seen welders(and others) work through broken feet and other ailments, it's not fun sure but that's capitalism for you.
this whole thing is tl;dr and is just a brainless rant and also, if you're going to reply to me reply to me.

so you are saying that they were against you, and you think/hope they did/do worse off than you (or at least you assume) |

So that's what you want your life to be? Working in some dimly lit, hot workshop for ten hours every day in complete agony? And that's if you're even capable of welding with a broken foot which- let's be perfectly honest, YOU'RE not You can go to trade school if you want, but if you do, you have my pity

I don't I hate the people who talk about going to trade school like they're some kind of genius for coming up with the idea while they talk down to college/higher education just because they're not capable of completing it
