Union elevator construction. $130k/year. I work four days a week, I don’t work weekends, have paid holidays, have paid time off, my max out of pocket for health insurance is $600/year for my family, a better pension than any other skilled trade or office job paying $80k, an employer paid annuity account that is paid in to hourly and will exceed $1M at retirement. Hard pass on the office job. Just have to join the right trade

Please review debt for school and how much they make after graduating. Only 15% of graduates make 80,000 after graduation. Do you you know how many graduates are working in the field they studied in?

I have to disagree with you on this one. Make sure that you find a job that you absolutely love. Money isn’t everything. Stay strong young man. Praying for you. ❤️

I watch nonsense :
Compound interest from 18-22 vs compounding 100k in debt going to college will make you a multimillionaire by the time your in your late 40s……unfortunately you live in the south where the unions are very weak in the north you get into a good union out of high school right away your making 150k and if you put lots of that into the S&P 500 you will become rich later on…..the debt you take on to go to college will ruin your life

It would be better for a young man or a young woman to go to a trade school. The cost is less in the reward is greater.

Man nailed it with me being 40 and back surgery! That is me unfortunately but nothing is stopping me or holding me back from doing the best for my family! And believe it or not tons of people are making more of an income than others with degrees right now on social media and right here on this app! So much opportunity here!! 🙌🏼

Work force jobs. Trade school. If you are passionate for something that takes a degree, it’s worth the debt. However, if you don’t have a passion for something that takes a 4 year degree , find a trade /tech school. Getting a CDL is good too.

You’d be better off in a trade school unless you will make more coming out of college then you will in debt. Look up Mike Rowe. He has an amazing scholarship.
