> It is hard to get a well paying job without education. Absolutely not true. This is a dangerous myth that has gotten people stuck with worthless liberal arts degrees and $xxx,xxx in student debt. You can make a very decent wage with a trade skill (plumber, electrician, HVAC technician, etc.) Starting out, for most of these jobs, all you need to do at first is merely "show up." I say this as someone that deeply values education, and I myself have one of those "worthless" liberal arts degrees. But the difference is that I went to school as a way to become a more well-rounded person, I already had a skill prior to going to school, and I also had a full academic scholarship that I was able to maintain due to good grades.
