College is overrated for a lot of people. Now I say this as someone who did graduate but if you go make sure it’s something useful to you. A lot of people just go to check the box and that’s what I think is wasteful. Some people are better served learning a trade. And some should be going to college but they should consider what they are choosing.

I legitimately chose something I thought I was interested in that I now realize I don’t give a damn about and wish I would of learned something useful and future proof.

Trades aren't going to help men who don't go to college. Trades are being taken over by illegals who work for less and drive down the pay.

Florida might actually be up there in terms of aerospace manufacturing/trade jobs.

As far as aerospace and mechanical engineering jobs, Washington State, California, DC, Maryland, Colorado, and Virginia are the places to be.

Florida is probably number 2 in aerospace after California. For the simple fact weather let's you test year around. The fact that they also have NASA located there as well. Pretty much all the DoD aerospace companies have a section of their aerospace in Florida where they build planes, launch rockets and satellites.

So Lockheed, Northrop Grumman and Boeing all have facilities there where they build and test planes and launch rockets and satellites. Folks forget that aerospace includes planes, rockets and satellites. Also the reason why California is the aerospace capital is all about WW2 and how a lot of the DoD companies did production and testing during the war and post war out there. When top secret DoD aerospace stuff is built it...its prototyped and tested in Palmdale.

Also I would add Texas to your list above just off the fact of NASA in Houston and Lockheed in the DFW area. Basically the F-35 is built and tested in Fort Worth.

I’m getting a second bachelors in accounting after wasting time and money on grad school and a BA in economics. The BA isn’t bad was only, $16k in debt. It was grad schools who bent me over and it has netted nothing but two interviews. :francis:

better than me having a Human Resources degree without any actual human resources experience after 13 years.
