That's exactly it David. I think there are plenty of intelligent students out there who would be better off not going to college and not accumulating a hug debt to work in a job they hate and doesn't pay all that well.

I do things with my hands on weekends to recharge from the soul-sucking office environment. I am fortunate to have a well-paying job and to have gotten a degree when they were much cheaper than they are now.

BTW, I was in a 100º+ attic last summer, with a halogen lamp to install a proper ventilation system for my bathroom vents.
