All three of my siblings went to college and earned degrees, and I am quite proud of them.
That said, they earned degrees in things I don’t even understand what the point is.
I can see if they went to veterinary college, or accounting school, but none of the three learned any sort of real world, applicable skills. They just learned… stuff. My sister Janet studied Classic Literature, my older brother Mark got a degree in Humanities, and baby brother Elmer went for a 6 year masters degree in ancient history. All I did was go to night classes in HVAC science, and I walked away with a way to make money and no crippling student debt. I understand that they pursued an education in things that interested them, but since making money interested me I learned the valuable HVAC repair skill set. Making money requires having a good or service people pay you for, and my service is fixing heating systems and air conditioners quickly, and for a fair price. This is skilled labor, you see, unlike cutting the grass or power washing the house, not everyone can figure their way around a high tech HVAC system. You have to take some classes, of course, do the proper training, and get your HVAC certification, so it’s not exactly handed to you. The point is that for a few thousand bucks you can get that HVAC certification and be set for your career, or spend a hundred thousand bucks to be unemployed. If they go and get certified maybe I will hire them to work for me.
