There are more shovel ready jobs than there are people willing to push a shovel. There are jobs waiting for welders, electricians, plumbers, steam fitters, and more. Good paying jobs. GREAT paying jobs! Jobs that won’t leave you with crippling student loan debt. Jobs that will pay you to learn.
But only if you are willing to go for it.
What’s wrong with jobs that require a degree? Nothing! But only if that degree leads to a job in a field that is hiring. Even if you’re BA/BS doesn’t match your future occupation there is a benefit to earning that degree. But the concept that college is a requirement for a fulfilling life or a successful career is a myth that should be challenged at all levels.
