That's what I'm seeing online. I think that's a good move. Neither one of my degrees have really paid off financially. I just finished a certification in my field. Luckily for me, I didn't have to pay school, with the exception of the community college years. I got grants and scholarships so I don't owe a dime. If I DID owe money, I'd be upset right now.
So yes, Gen Z, go to trade school, unless you are wanting to become doctor, lawyer etc.

@iamnikki That's great, debt is a killer. My parents could not afford college, so I went in
the military for 8 years. I then went into construction, started at the bottom, and learned
all the jobs, then started estimating, and project management. After about 16 years I
started my own company. Some people pigeon hole themselves, and do not learn all
the different vocations within their field, and it keeps them down. I always encourage
people to branch out as soon as they learn what they need to, than move to a different
job within their field. It always makes a person worth more to a company, even if they
do not start their own business. Never be complacent.
