This is like saying if you get a bachelor's degree you can swim all the way to shore, and if you get an associates degree you can swim half way. The need is much more important than the item
Research, study & facts currently still show those with a college degree earn more on average. Of course that's an average. Trade programs cost between $10,000-$250,000 with most graduates making estimated annual salaries between $50,000-$80,000. The current demand for trade jobs is high, driving up salaries. I don't think one is inherently a better choice than the other. Each have pros & cons. It more about individual preferences. I would start with learning salary range, demands & longevity of fields or careers that interest you. Then balance those against what you want to achieve in life. Life is going to change your plans in ways you couldn't predict--recessions, layoffs, illness, etc. Do your best to remain flexible and financially fortify yourself. Most of us are forced & locked into this struggle. Just remember, to smell the rises & make most of those opportunities to catch your breath & breathe. ALSO: Don't give much weight to saying "do what you love and your job will never feel like work". I think for most, their job feels like work much of the time regardless. Loving or liking your job only helps make it more bearable.
This is terrible advice. I got an associates in a trade that was SIGNIFICANTLY less expensive then a bachelors degree. There are some bachelors degree programs that are worth it but there is way more bs programs that aren’t worth anything. The vast majority of people I know with bachelor’s degrees are in a ton of debt and I make way more than them. Besides that since the market is saturated with bachelor degrees they aren’t as “special” anymore. You should first look into is the program entering worth the cost. What this video should be telling you is if you do go for a bachelors degree then use that opportunity to build a relationship with professors and use that to network to set you apart.
@@FelSL ...mmm it depends. its challenging depending on you, anatomy and phsyiology is always hard, but I was a mechanic and homr builder. theres ALOT of physics involved which was easy due to my backround, lots of people bail tho
Totally not buying into this… working in management it take experience and leadership skills and degree does not give you advantage of both but the society we send up is degree is everything probably because of industrial era. Some industries request degree like healthcare, engineering, laws and scientists work. But management no, I know a few MBA degree with A class college they have to book knowledge but don’t fit in the workplace in reality. Your professor never taught you about real life situations and how to step up during as a leader. It need an experience leader in work force to teaches you that and many of them don’t have a degree.

Get a trade education with books does you no good after about 4th grade lol
associate degree is more like a beginner to get a bachelor or start your job

A piece of paper will help you appear more capable? My capabilities are proven in the field, not by an institution.
