Black people of the modern era seem to have an aversion to doing trades which is simply wrong. If you going to make the discourse around going to college, then the discussion should be around what colleges, and what you’re actually going to study, what’s the best route to attain high wages because there are a lot of folks who just went to a middle of the road college and got a degree in for example Business who earning far less than someone who didn’t go to College at 18 and went straight into the trade.
By the time they’re 25-26 they have 7-8 years experience and earning a better wage than many of these people who thought getting just any degree was the be all end all, I see it a lot with my friends some of the best paid are blue collar workers who decided to do a trade, and that’s after doing years of time.
The discussion has to become a bit more nuanced than it is at the moment, not every college is made equal and neither is every degree.
