Nothing in particular but, for me, I spent 8 years learning to do a thing and now I won’t even be given an initial interview. It’s the “what the fuck was the point?” of it all.

What’s wrong with trade-schools?

For real, trade school did me better than most of my peers, but people definitely have some stigma around it for some reason.

Because colleges pushed the “without a degree, you’ll be flipping burgers and living in your mom’s basement”. When the reality is, trades make bank.

Right now in Poland people with a degree struggle to get by working shit government and corpo jobs while people after trade schools buy summer homes and drive new cars. In Spain were I live they don’t make as much money but they sure as hell don’t have to worry about work. I’m trying to find someone to do some reforms and people simply ignore you. They have so much work they simply don’t care if you will hire them or not. And a lot of those jobs a not back-breaking. AC technicians have shitload of work now and will only have more.

O yea, HVAC in the states is big but with the planet continuing to become an oven, the EU is just getting started with HVAC, ton of money to be had there.

funny, because even WITH a degree, you’ll end up flipping burgers. But with a degree, you’ll have thousands of dollars of debt to pay back too.

There are plenty of people with degrees that are successful because those degrees got their foot in the door. It’s not a one way or the other situation. It’s a matter of looking at the odds, and figuring out how far and fast the odds are shifting.
