Haha, yeah, if you actually look at how much you earn vs how much you actually work (quality of life), some trades like electrician or plumbers are so much better off than my doctor wife, it’s not even funny :/

There’s a trade school near me that is fucking free. They have a huge endowment and that pays for everything, even room and board for the on-campus students. They still have to advertise and meanwhile kids go $300K into debt to get a degree in English Lit. I’m all for a classic Liberal Arts education but god damn.

In Germany, most trades are organized as apprenticeships with a split of work days and school days, which means you’ll basically get paid for school!
