Fuck you guys in a good way who say they can ' t draw but are actually pretty good . Now here ' s a from someone who really can ' t draw <| sep |> Whoops , fixed it . Not by desire , my dad Disowned me because I voted for trump and he won . I ' m sadly not even joking . <| sep |> There are plenty of skilled trades out there that do not include large amounts of manual labor . There are plenty of chronic shortages in fields such as AP mechanics , CDL drivers , and other skilled trades that have almost no young entrants into them . Hell , the railroad will take you with no experience , train you no pun intended , and likely pay you well ahead of your peers . Yet , most applicants for all these jobs are beyond their 20 ' s . I work a skilled trade at the age of 27 , the next youngest person just turned 40 . No one wants to put in the effort to get into the field even though we could really use some younger guys to fill these jobs when the older folks retire I work as an aircraft mechanic . The way I look at it , my college education has nothing to do with my job or future employment . I would go to school because I value a college education . Study something I am interested in while working in a trade that only requires basic certification . My pay is probably comparable to anyone my age with a 4 or 6 year degree yet with no student loan debt . Basic point here is that there is a skilled trade for everyone . No need for every single person out there to get into a lengthy degree program for the purpose of finding employment .
