Student Apples and Oranges Mix

                      
Education marketers compare apples and oranges when making earnings comparisons about the financial advantage of attending formal college. That skews career choices of too many kids.
                       
Numbers thrown out by what I call college administration snake oil salesmen, are usually off-the-mark. They often include janitor jobs, in comparison with high tech. 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. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
