Soooo pretty much its a better option to go to some trade, technical, or certification program than to some 4 year college???

[areuter727]

@MacTownGaKuntryBOY I think the better option is to find a job that is willing to PAY for your college/training. You may not love it or be passionate about said job but it pays the bills and you won't be in debt lie the rest of us idiots who swallowed the blue pill.

[MacTownGaKuntryBOY]

@areuter727 Cool. What kind of jobs would those be that one could look into?

[areuter727]

@MacTownGaKuntryBOY You're honestly just going to have to "pound the pavement" and find out. A buddy of mine does electric, makes good money and had paid training. Not the most glamorous jobs but he was the first of my friends to *buy* a house!

[areuter727]

@BallinRabbit09 I'm voting this one up LOL! Actually a public library is a better authority/more reliable.

irritates me to hear people say uhmm during every pause

It also creates problems when people from other countries come here, demanding jobs.

[candynsweetslife]

Students are quite optimistic but every college student that doesn't have connections from their parents or relatives worry about getting a job at one point or another when in college, some students actually worry all throughout college because finding a job is the reason why they went in the first place

@areuter727

[RamboSuper13]

maybe people should decide to major in something that actually revolves around money.
