    University educated. Changed careers at 29 and did tech college and got a diploma.

    Now I paint and fix shit for a rental company and I make 4x what I used to make. No papers required. It’s wild.

      Got a degree in IT, just got a job as a apprentice plumber. Everyone is making 2-3 times what I was making with way less job stress.
