Everyone pushes college, college, college. I went to college, I have a master's degree, I make very good money for my age. My husband did not go to college...
He went to trade school right after high school, he got his certificates and everything... This past July he had already brought home more than my gross salary this year.
Come December he will have quadrupled my salary. Quadrupled it.
I guess that's the gender pay gap at work?
Or, it could be that whatever master's degree she has just isn't worth as much to the market as skilled labor (and that master's degrees in general aren't worth much).
There's always that possibility.
If he decides to pick up overtime on a weekend... just in those two days more than I make in a two week check. I have a master's degree. He has a high school diploma. So that reason right there is why I will not push college on anyone...
If you think that college is not for you and you want to try a trade school... do it! Do it!
I don't think that enough people are talking about this. And it is 100% worth it if you stick with it. He's been doing it for 8 years, so obviously he has made his way up the ladder. But if he leaves his job today I 100% guarantee he will make the exact same amount of money wherever else he decides to go.
I cannot stress it enough... He doesn't have student debt. Nothing. And he's quadrupling my salary in one year.
The lady just earned the big ole Mike Rowe thumbs up!
Seriously, we've got enough worthless degrees out there. I think I know where the future money is at!
