Or work your way up the organization from an entry level job, i.e.,
the old fashioned way. The demand for certain technical skills is so
high that any experience at all can get your foot in the door. Once
hired, job performance counts a lot more than education. I've
encountered a surprising number of well educated individuals who just
could not apply their knowledge effectively in a work environment.
Being able to apply what you know, recognizing opportunities and
acting on them in a timely manner is what gets people ahead. There
are also a lot of opportunities in some of the difficult, dirty, blue
collar areas like refrigeration, air conditioning, plumbing, diesel
mechanics, commercial electricians, etc. Those jobs are physically
demanding and require a fair amount of skill but they pay very well
and can lead to having your own business.

Yeah, it's all about the money, then when a new techology comes
around, you can kiss that job goodbye.

Technology has not removed the need for people to wire houses, float
drywall and lay bricks.
Anyone who can fix engines in boats will always have work.

Yeah, there'll be so much demand for that why we can fuel our entire
future and compete with the rest of the world by fixing some engines,
wiring houses and laying bricks. Good god. Grow up.
