But yeah, personally, I'd push my own child to get a degree, as insurance. Life can be quite long and you never know.
- Baeocystin 9y agoAs someone who has worked as a shipyard welder and a mechanic... Good lord, yes, working most trades are going to be much harder on your body than sitting around. It is not a close comparison.

- NFPA_SysAdmin 9y agoIt depends, as a technician I was active, mobile, exercised my muscles daily, and was in very good shape. After I got my CS degree, I spent the next year sitting in front of a desk staring at an editor and couldn't stand it. I moved back into the trades and it seemed like the healthier (and better paying) option.
