Technical School vs. College ... Another Path
Are you a high school student trying to decide on what career path to take? Or maybe you are a more experienced person who is in a rut in your career and looking for something different? Our society points people the direction of college as the only option to consider. We disagree and have the facts to prove it. We believe that in the upcoming years there is going to be a great demand for skilled trade laborers and the income for those who have the skill & knowledge needed to fill those openings will have significant increases. While sometimes the skilled labor trades can“looked down on” please remember that there are only so many “computer or sales” jobs available and the majority of college graduates will be fighting for those positions. This leads to the market for those jobs will be “watered down” and there pay will reflect that.
We found and article with lots of good information on this subject. Below is an excerpt from the article and a link to the article itself.
Getting a college degree is expensive and causes many students to take out student loans, work multiple jobs, and rely on their parents for financial relief. These high costs have caused future students to take a second look at their career plans. For these students, technical fields like heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) are a smart alternative to expensive college degrees — and for good reason. HVAC professionals can become successful while spending much less money and much less time in school.
To understand the financial consequences of a traditional college education versus technical HVAC training, there are a few things one must consider: the average salaries of college graduates compared to the average salaries of HVAC professionals; the cost of education; and the potential of going into debt. Read on to learn more about why the HVAC field can be an attractive path for students looking to earn a living without going into too much student debt.
