If you have a degree and give people this advice then you're probably not a good person
- zer00eyz 2y ago> If you have a degree and give people this advice then you're probably not a good person I can point you to plenty of people with no college and middle skill jobs who are happier with what they do and make more than people with degrees. They also have way less debt. There are plenty of smart people who have knowledge and training that allows them to do things most college graduates would be baffled by. Looking down on them because they have dirt under their nails was a mistake we made 50 years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ve1aWWDNJ60 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ve1aWWDNJ60 This is middle skill labor in action. They make more than most people who get history degrees for good reason. We only NEED one of them. (And I fuckin love history so..)
- matrix87 2y agoWhy history major vs trades? Isn't that sort of a false dichotomy? Would you present it this way to your kids? Or just other people's?
