Now we come to the fact that not all of us are made for college or have the money to pay for college or not have the time for college. It is not that they have a low IQ or lazy or poor. It is just that it really needs a lot of time and discipline and money to pursue a Four year degree. Not everybody has that kind of discipline to do that. For these folks it is either you make whatever money and obligations you have to the time you want to spend in college. So don’t despair, there are many skills you can learn without investing the time and money and still come out with a decent paying job or even start your own business (if you have the money and inclination).
Many jobs which people think are below their level of dignity or which need somewhat physical work are shunned by people just because of that or maybe it is the pressure of their parents or their friends that they are unwilling to broaden their horizon of seeking out non traditional sources of income. By which I mean like plumbing, electrician, air conditioning and refrigeration repair person, auto mechanic, TV and computer repair man, construction contractor, medical billing and many others which you don’t have to spend a lot of money or time in years to learn the trade. And you can also start your own small business which does not need much capital to start. It is the path that one should consider if they consider the college route as too traditional or too boring (time consuming/money spending). And the pay is really good too, especially if you are your own boss, you can earn same amount of money as a college graduate.
The key fact here is that one should explore all options apart from the college to see what the best fit is for them, because we will still need these non traditional jobs no matter what happens to the economy.
