Why doesn't Holla Forums learn a trade?

why didnt you learn a trade Holla Forums? dont tell me you fell for the college meme.

would've been more valuable that 90% of high school. I would still like my BS in computer science.

But I am learning a trade.

Because its free, more fun and pays more with less manual labour.

what are you studying?

Because I wanted to be a scientist, which requires college.

Because I'm bad at math and I find manual labor tedious.

so are you a scientist?

spoken like a true millennial

If so many people become independent contractors it'll just lead to market saturation and there won't be enough work for any individual to earn enough to hold up. The whole "learn a trade" meme is dying. In my oil field town the market for welders is so oversaturated people will laugh at you if you become just yet another certified welder who'll be lucky to get hired anywhere. The oil companies sure aren't expanding enough to create nearly enough jobs for everyone now, oil and gas needs to die anyway and the corporations liquated in a Socialist manner to the masses.

Still studying, still a lot of school ahead of me because graduate school is basically necessary too if you don't want to just be a lab technician.
