One of my buddy’s sons skipped college and became an electrician at 18.
He was told either college or military were his only two options.
His parents weren’t exactly excited when he went to trade school. Actually they were a little embarrassed.
Most of their friends’ kids were going off to universities. Their son was showing up to job sites at 6am.
By 21 he was making $90k
By 24 he had his master electrician license making over $120k
At 27 he started taking his own jobs on the side for a total of $200k
Last year at 29 his little “electrician business” did $1.8M with 4 vans.
Funny how that works.
His parents used to explain why he didn’t go to college.
Now they tell everyone he owns an electrical company.
We need more 18-year-olds to know this path exists.
Day 229 tagging @mikeroweworks until more parents start bragging about trade school too.
Consider to RT if you agree.
In four short years:
Arizona went from top 10 economic state to bottom 5.
Gas prices match California
Schools went from bottom 5 to rock bottom last.
We lost nearly 250 Billion Gallons of water.
Tax cuts and economic boosting bills vetoed.
Katie Hobbs is a disaster.
The problem in your understanding of the network membership TAM is that Satoshi also envisioned corporates as peer to peer, institutions as peer to peer, and States as peer to peer, etc (other combinations). Not just individuals. The big idea is separating money from centralized State Control while providing transparency through Open Source code and independent verification.
The world makes a living on arbitrage of one kind or another. The Strategy is an arbitrage. No one is forcing you or another. Don’t want fries with seed oil? Don’t buy McD’s fries. Go to Shake n Steak or wherever they use tallow. What is the problem? We want free markets. We want choices. Let shit die if it sucks.
