I know a woman who is in Laura's shoes re debt and degree, but still makes decent money by doing little in her cushy office job and sitting on her fat ass all day.

I couldn’t make what I make without a degree. Those examples are definitely exceptions, not rules

Trades are not glamorous and can break your body down.

I'll pass on being "Larry"

TigPlaze · 2019-11-29T22:11:27+00:00

College degrees can still be very valuable today, but too many people are doing it wrong.

Bezos former wife didn't earn that money.

HaraldGHOW · 2019-11-29T20:31:45+00:00

Uhm, buy her a drink. Nope, thanks, I'll pass.

nuttyrunner · 2019-11-29T18:38:51+00:00

it depends on the field tho, I have friends making 70k+ as software engineering graduating from a noname school. It was only like 3-4k a semester full time.

That was my choice. My last 2 yrs of school I went to a vocational school. While everyone else stayed at the local school have a fun jr/sr year in high school. Out of 5 friends. Only two went to college. Go a master's and just one of them paid of their school dept off. Fuck. When they were still in school I bought my first house. 5yrs after graduation

Seems like you’re the one looking down on other people for what they do for a living

NostalgicMango · 2019-11-29T20:02:19+00:00

The last point had me laughing out of my seat.

lafingman0 · 2019-11-30T00:07:37+00:00

wish I knew this out of high school

Idiot_Savant_Tinker · 2019-11-30T01:20:00+00:00

I went to a trade school, and ended up with an office job. So my body won't be used up by the time I'm in my mid-40's.

2019-11-29T19:18:45+00:00

What a delusional life you live. Who hurt you?

Nerdialismo · 2019-11-29T21:48:23+00:00

I did Technical Chemistry, a 2 years course that my school had for free and I build my house and bought a new car in less than 5 years.

shalomanioleh · 2019-11-30T05:59:28+00:00

You don't make 80k a year in 2 years as a mechanic....... I'm happy I'm a tradee over all, but this is a gross over simplification and gross exaggeration of what it's like. Trades can be tough and they're not for everyone. Be sure to ask a person in the trade you want to learn for his thoughts before you dive in

ExtremelyPoopyBHole · 2019-11-29T22:56:14+00:00

You're not going to go to tech school and immediately make 80K you retarded boomer

EquilibriumMan · 2019-11-30T03:20:03+00:00

Mechanics don’t make 80k a year lol

Greeneyeball69 · 2019-11-30T04:22:29+00:00

Laura kind of hot though

wanderer-of-reddit · 2019-11-30T04:55:06+00:00

Should I go to tech school instead

churchill72 · 2019-11-30T06:13:32+00:00

I think they intentionally use bad grammar and spelling in these to attempt to discredit the valid message being communicated.

GrimesGolden · 2019-11-30T06:22:28+00:00

Go to school if you want people. Education and knowledge is power.

Matiyah · 2019-11-30T07:43:11+00:00

Unfortunately the meme ignores the fact that personal connections make all the difference for both paths. I did try the right path before going to college only to find that the various union halls required an insane amount of wood shop experience in HS before they would even look at you. Nvm the fact that my idiotic school admins never replaced my shop teacher when he retired so I only had two semesters. People who have done the journeyman thing find that like in Asia and the professional path you need to have an inside person to have a chance

Silversiberia · 2019-11-30T11:08:16+00:00

I don't think the last statement is true.

prostate-apostate · 2019-11-30T15:37:16+00:00

You think car mechanics make 80k a year ??

nopussy_ona_pedestal · 2019-11-30T18:31:54+00:00

nice, I hate it

Flashmode1 · 2019-12-01T05:21:56+00:00

Nonsense post. Average college graduate finished around 30k in debt. Most college graduates earn around 50k a year with their first jobs on average. College grads have better job security and significantly more jobs available.

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/15/college-grads-expect-to-earn-60000-in-their-first-job----few-do.html

Most blue collar professionals won’t make as much as a white collar and the work takes a significant toll on the body. 80k is a nonsense number for trades. Most of the skilled trades average around 40-50k a year after many years of experience.
