after my four year degree in philosophy (yeah, go ahead and laugh), i did go back to school for a trade. respiratory therapy. one of the better decisions i've made.

the advice i got from my whole family, uncles, grandparents, etc., was that a college degree was going to get me places. what a crock. basically worthless, in my experience, without further education in a profession like law or some such.

trade school will be my advice for my son, unless he turns out to have a passion for something else. i may still sneak a trade into his schedule so he has something to fall back on.
