As my dad always told me..."you don't have to go to college, somebody has to flip burgers at McDonald's"

Don't go to tech school. All of my friends who went to some sort of tech school Wyotech, UTI, etc... aren't even working in that field. It's just too saturated.

Don't go to college.

Do 2 years in community college and then transfer. You might just find that college isn't for you in those 2 years anyway.

There's always massage therapy!...
No, seriously. I make a crap ton of money if I WANT to. If I don't , I clear my schedual. Average pay per hr if I work for a company is $18-20. If Im on my own time its $60-150 (pure profit) . I
Can work in any state I want. If the economy tanks I can set up a chair on the street corner and make decent wages that way.
Most of the massage therapists I know at least smoke or did at one point.
If you meet a massage therapist that isn't making money, they either suck or are doing it wrong. Not to mention tips are top notch. My average tip is $20 an hr. I make $18 an hr (company cap so I'll be leaving soon.) Highest tip was $150 for a 90 min. You can dictate your own schedule after you prove to a company that you can make THEM money. I'll type the downsides later, time to go get breakfast.
P.S. if you like to sleep in: my work days don't start till 5 or 6 and I work 25-27 hrs a week.

Learn a trade such as welding, pipefitting, carpentry, electrician, etc. Next step is to try to get a government job doing said trade.

Where I work they are on the same payscale as the nuclear reactor operators, so you would likely be able to make nearly $100k/year working cheesy overtime most weekdays. No, I'm not exaggerating at all.

That's the truth. And where the future is heading the manufacturing and trades are going to be making a huge come back As china becomes more aware that they are under paid

I would personally go to a 4 year college due to the fact that ive had friends who go to technical schools only to pay 5 ,000 for a certificate. At college you get a actually degree and when it comes to employers they will choose the person who went to college over the person who went to a tech school.
