Attending Trade Schools

Misleading data about the financial advantage of attending formal college skews career choices of too many kids. Numbers thrown out by what I call college administration snake oil salesmen, are usually off-the-mark.

In most instances, education marketers compare apples and oranges.Their earnings comparisons often include janitor jobs, in comparison with high tech. But their figures are prejudiced with regard to higher-paying, non-college trades, such as electricians, plumbers, or computer techies.

You are successful because of your skills and enterprise. not a framed piece of paper from a college. Get a marketable ability. Whether it comes from a college or a technical school.

Many technical school graduates earn far more than college grads.
