      I didn't go to college and by age 25 I was making 90 grand a year. Part of it was luck but mostly I just started at the bottom at a really good job and showed up worked my hardest and my area manager happened to get fired 4 yrs after I started at age 21 and I happened to be the most experienced and most dependent. So it is possible to succeed in life and have an amazing job without college

    Man I still feel so bummed about how I was offered a apprenticeship in my 20s (with no degree) by the father of my girlfriend at the time who was a successful construction manager. He was offering to teach me everything about the trade, and even talked to me about building a house for us to move into. Was an incredible opportunity, and the father was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met, but unfortunately that relationship didn’t work out and even though he kept the offer on the table, I had to decline out of respect for his daughter.
    Learned a few years ago that her next boyfriend and her got married, and her dad made the same offer to him, and bought them a house as a wedding gift. Her husband now owns his own construction company, and based on their lifestyle is making an easy 150k+, while I’m still stuck making 50k a year in my 30s. Thinking about it still hurts.

Unless nepotism/friend/your about to be asulted...then they give you a 'chance' teaching you A&B but not C,D,and E because "you might get confused" aka, you're a threat/not giving them the blow/rim job they want. It's a racket and all to get money so you can responsibly & reliably be a productive member of society until you die.... Spending most of your life wasted and being so envious of the youth that you fight to keep the same/worse systems in place, because how dare they get to live there life. Unless they were born/marry into money....than you gotta be there friends, which should be easy, because they like screwing over others without their privallaged as well. Unless they married into it, then they basically"forget" that if it wasn't for their hubby's family hook ups, they'd still be paying for college.....

    Air traffic control is a very stress heavy job, definitely not something that you can just "do right out of high school" all of the training mentioned for this takes years to complete and there are age limits to this career (if past like 29 you can't even get in the training) Not trying to discourage anyone though, this is a really important job; just find it odd to be mentioned as an alternative to college. Arguably this path is more challenging than a standard college degree.

    What Vincent leaves out about the construction management position is the immense stress. This is coming from someone who is on the design side. You'll typically notice a lot of turnover in the construction industry - that's not an accident. I find it's especially odd to suggest this after watching Vincent's videos about quitting the rat race of finance. A/E can have similarly bad hours, emails at all time of the night, and putting out fires constantly. I know he means well, but whew - Vincent clearly did not perform much diligence before including it in this list.

      I’m a construction superintendent and let me tell you there’s a reason I’m watching videos like these. You’re absolutely correct when talking about the immense stress of the position/industry. We don’t get to hang it up at the end of a day or night. Weekends are almost unavoidable and don’t get me started on turnover.. Most people don’t want the stress if they’re not entirely invested in the culture that goes along with the job.

    I do commercial electrical and I can’t imagine doing line work. If you think construction people are rough they’re nothing compared to widebacks. I’ve seen linemen and utility types physically assault their apprentices for making the smallest mistakes or being too slow. The trades are extremely demoralizing and outside of line work or elevator constructors 80k is nowhere near the average pay unless you’re working 65 hour weeks. Stay in the office and A/C , it’s much better than destroying your body for 30/$hr at most and putting up with GCs, violent and drug addicted co workers and cheap ass business owners. The union side isn’t much better either barring a couple of halls in places like Seattle or Portland. I’m speaking from experience. If I could do it all over again I’d get the best office job without a degree I could or be a professional street pharmacist/ “money borrower”.

    If you’re pursuing software engineering or development, boot camps are worthwhile if you have a degree already. If you don’t have a degree, and haven’t been working with software personally, don’t go to a boot camp unless you’re pursuing web development. They’re similar in price to a CS degree online but hold a fraction of the value. I’m sure there’s people who can make it with just the boot camp, and great job to those who have, but it’s much less common than advertised. Remember, if it’s too good to be true it usually is. A 3-6 month boot camp won’t get you the 100k salary you think you’ll make. I’ve worked in big tech, DOD, commercial, and finance industries. I’ve NEVER worked with someone who went to a boot camp.

Women face discrimination on a regular basis. Do not misunderstand me, I have seen white men discriminated against too, but typically it is because they enfranchise women and minorities or perceived as "weak" as they take care of their families, or need flexible work hours, etc. As far as quality, I taught three classes one quarter and three male instructors taught one class, three weeks each (and they invited outside lecturers so most of class was taught by outside personnel). No, this is not clever. It's lazy and a disservice to the students. So, I was doing more work, having higher scores on my surveys, revising curriculum, etc. I am paid 40K less. If there is equity where you work, it is either because you live somewhere else where equity is enforced strictly or you are lucky to be in a fair work environment.

      @@blkacdevl2517 it takes 5 years of apprenticeship to get a license where I am. That being said, there are a couple apprentices that are over 40. IBEW may be your best bet if you're starting late.

    Sadly these jobs pay high but not in my home country. A bachelor's degree is really needed to get a decent paying job in PH... no wonder why most of us take nursing then migrate to US 😢

    Im to the age where my young optimism is dead and i just want something where i can be home with kiddos and not have to be away from home most of my life. I am a Catastrophe adjuster. Yeah the money is 6 figures plus, but i was gone 250 days last year. I need a change.
