I tend to agree that some of the best job opportunities will lie in
the trades.

I know a lot of guys in skilled trades with four year college degrees.

That doesn't say much for the education then does it.

D'oh. Most of them got their degrees while working in the trades. You
know...intellectual pursuits. Close friend, a plumber, just got an M.A. in
philosophy. Apparently not everyone is satisfied ossifying mentally in SW
Florida.

And that liberal arts degree did what for his income? Is a hobby only.
