It makes fuckups who are neck deep in student loans with no suitable job prospects in their "field" feel better about themselves for having wasted both time and money for little to no return in the near future.

My best friends are pulling $1100/day in CT right now as linemen. All dropped out of high school.

What dumbasses, right?!

That doesn't say people who went to school are stupid. It's completely out of context from the thread.

You're a retard, so I'll let it slide.

Can we talk about how high school drop outs earn more than college graduates? I want you to give me evidence. Come on, pal. You can do it. They make $1100/day!

You're a joke and boring me.

Spam the forums more about how much better you are than TR and cry because you were rejected.

I normally don't talk to the lower class. This is fun! Are you still angry you were too obese for the army? I'm sorry about that.

Hilarious is that you're implying you're above anyone at all.

Except maybe KB just because he's a useless junkie...

I am not sure how things are in the rest of the world but in Alberta you actually can go and make a very good wage right out of highschool in the oilfields. You can in fact make not just more money then most professionals, but MUCH more money then most professionals on the rigs, depending on the outfit, your job and the season, as things such as isolation pay and danger pay quickly add up.

What would be uncommon would be a person a few years out of university that was employed in their field and making close to what a drop out in the oil fields makes.
Of course on-site professionals can make wages that blow those of most rig pigs out of the water.

Other industries can be quite lucrative as well such as construction. But are of course much more prone to fluctuate with markets. And a skilled worker in a niche industry can make rediculous amounts of money.

One season for instance I made slightly over $80 000 in less then four months with a company that stains concrete for high-end real estate clients. Of course that was not a job I could have just walked into off of the street but the experience and aptitude's that made me a viable producer in that company surely took me a lot less time to develop then the training that a doctor or an engineer for instance would require.

The real world does not operate upon some mystical sliding wage scale dictated by degrees, it operates on supply and demand.

Of course there are trade-offs to working in the trades. You CAN make alot of money. You can also fuck your body over at a young age and be screwed for life where as Johny gynecologist mostly has to worry about twisting his back on the golf course. And its often dangerous. They dont just toss money at you for fun. There are distinct reasons that the wages can be very high and that rate of turnover for workers in many trade industries can be extremely high compared to those of professionals.
