I agree that there are certainly plenty of opportunities presented by developing a technical skill. However the unemployment rate is only 4.5% for the college educated vs 10.7% for high school only and 8.4% for an associate degree/some college. So maybe college is not as much of a waste as you might think. http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t04.htm http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t04.htm

Yes but show me the figures that break out Electrician/Plumber/LPN from 2 year business degrees. My sister in law got a 2 year biz degree. You're qualified to be a secretary (without experience). She went back and got LPN with an additional year at school. Her job outlook is amazing. Her income is 2 to 3 times what she could have made with only her business degree. Associated degree/some college includes a lot of things like child care/business, etc.
