I always wonder why we send so many of our kids through college when there are trades

Right now a high school graduate can go to the Dakota’s, Wyoming, and West Texas and make over $100k per year driving trucks and being a welder. If you train on the drill site some are making $150k and a foreman close to $200k. Others that are not good with the trades can make a lot of money in the hospitality business catering to the trade people. It’s a new gold rush. While there are thousands of kids graduating from college with a BA, huge debt and working in Walmart.
