On: A generation of American men give up on college

[pwthornton]

He works as a landscaper in Minnesota, which I presume does not offer robust employment year round. Even if he could work all seasons doing landscaping, his pay would come out to $26,000 a year, assuming he takes no days off.

I am not sure this is a smart move. It seems like he is hoping his music career pans out, but we aren't given a lot of insight into his talent level there.

I mean it doesn't necessarily mean staying at whatever job forever.

But a well-paying trade like Electrician, especially commercial pays better than many degrees.

We need a bootcamp for schools, there is just too much of a bullshit moat around degrees IMHO.
