[QUOTE="BrandonM, post: 3571585, member: 6435"] I never went to college. I started working warehouse jobs. I used every job as a stepping stone. Sometimes a new job brought more money, sometimes less but with an interesting new skill. A 9 month machining program at Tulsa Tech is all the formal schooling I have. I currently work on pumps, compressors, turbines, etc. I average about $125,000 / year. If your kid has a strong work ethic and the willingness to learn, anything is possible. I know plenty of college graduates who went into business and make 60-80K a year. Those can be good jobs but that much in today’s market is lower middle class. Throw in a few kids and you’re living paycheck to paycheck like most of America. Whatever your kid does, if he has the work ethic and intelligence he will go far. The work ethic is the most important in that equation, from my experience. [/QUOTE]
