One of my buddyโs sons skipped college and became an electrician at 18.
He was told either college or military were his only two options.
His parents werenโt exactly excited when he went to trade school. Actually they were a little embarrassed.
Most of their friendsโ 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 โelectrician businessโ did $1.8M with 4 vans.
Funny how that works.
His parents used to explain why he didnโt 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.
