Yup! Right now CNC programming, robotics etc and building trades
(includes operating engineers) kick the buts of probably 80-90% of
college degrees. CNC/robotics offer advancement paths beyond mastery by
working for mfgrs/integrators.

Clay is right. Mike Rowe is right. Rick is right. College is gummit

That is
CNC operators/techs and robot programmers/service techs will do well. The
community college here is trying to create them for the big manufacturing
companies that are being lured here by no unions and hefty tax giveaways but
the raw material is lacking among the local populace.

College makes sense for doctors, engineers, architects, etc. But IMO, very few
people need a BA ( at least very few compared to the number now enrolled).

I finally was able to get through to #1 boy that being a wage slave was not a
reliable way to make a living. He decided that maybe I might be correct and
has taken the first steps (getting hired) to becoming an electrician.
