The solution is NOT trade school. It’s making university more affordable.
Get real dude.
Not everyone wants to go to trade school or college. One shouldn’t t replace the other.
I went from trade school to college. I will tell you this… the trades aren’t for everybody but it’s a great alternative to college. I’m not here to say trades or bad or college is bad. Everybody life is different. Trades should not be looked down upon. I went to trade school for plumbing and pipe fitting now I’m in college for computer science. I have friends who went from banking white collar to trade school blue collar work and they enjoy it. Everybody is different
That's def true I went to Trade school for plumbing trade school and college have their pros and cons in a way
Did the whole Trade school thing and got certs in Aviation Maintenance. 5 years in now and I am now pursuing a degree in computer science. I will be making about the same amount of $$ but without having to sacrifice my body for it. Both college and Trade school have their advantages and disadvantages. Using my trade career to pay for my college degree so no student debt and never acquired any student debt for trade school. Completely Debt free.
Same I went to trade school now also going for a CS degree. I just hate when trade school shits on college and college shits on trade schools. Everybody isn’t the same, both have good and bad.
Wow I'm in aviation maintenance making six figures and easiest job I ever had. Federal holidays, paid personal leave, 5 weeks vacation, medical, dental, vision insurance, short term health insurance and long term health insurance.
Good luck
@@334trax2 I just graduated, do you recommend that career? How do I get started?
That's what I'm gonna do that. I got offered a program for software engineering but can't afford it. So now I'm studying at vocational school, hoping to get some pratical skills and gets a job in automation industry so I can pay for my further education.
I am heavily considering doing somthing like this, I want to do somthing with computer science but I need money, do you think that this is a solid plan
I agree with this man I’m in my first year of college and I have to take so many bs classes that aren’t related to my major
Exactly
Sammmee
That's the worst part of college. The reason I hated it really cuz it had nothing to do with what I wanted to do.
@@K4lr0b have you considered the benefits of being more well rounded? The video explains this with the discussion on transferable skills. Many of us in college/university don't see the value at first. Years later in the work force you will see the adaptability come into play. That's when you realize the benefit.
The main thing I learned growing up and working in the blue collar sector while studying (twice) for the white collar is the division that exists. You see that hugely now with the anti-science BS. I don't treat people without degrees as idiots. I respect everyone. I can learn from anyone! I don't always get the same response and it's known at some places it is important to hide your ring. Clearly those folks have not learned that respect and learn from anyone attitude. Such a shame.
One side bar: many trade degrees are in fields that can't be outsourced. Being a mechanic, an HVAC technician, plumber, electrician, etc. None of these roles can be outsourced since they have to be on-site. Ditto for many construction based trade degrees. Definitely an excellent alternative for college.
Well if I get injured
Most tradesmen I’ve met are idiots outside their trade.
@@jupiterinaries6150 same goes for college tbf
@@loscopihues2343 many PhDs are hardly idiots outside. Tradesmen are cocky and for what? Swinging a hammer?
@@jupiterinaries6150 many people are almost 30 when they get a PhD, and even in debt,
Imagine being in debt at it's thirties
A lot of people worry about the debt when they think about college. What they don’t realize is if you make a good decision with your degree that debt won’t be a problem and maybe it will in the beginning but it will always pay off eventually.
Yep.
For example, in the USA professional schools cost a mint. Dental school runs around 300-500k, med school around 150-400k, law school around 150-250k, etc. Now obviously law school, don't go unless you go to T14. Dental school, go cheapest possible. Med school? Any US MD/DO, you're good.
Yup. If you major in engineering or computer science and go to an in-state university then you’ll be in an ideal position in terms of loans. Good paying job with relatively low debt. Most times you should be able to pay off the loans in five years or less.
@@isaiah1931 I’m thinking of computer science
@@supercooldude824 as a mechanical engineering student with an interest in C.S, if you like it, please do it. I will admit it is my #1 pick for best college major in terms of opportunities. Not just for jobs (which it is already like 11/10 there), but opportunities to start a business, create enjoyable hobby projects, and leverage to move into management if you so choose. I love my major and refuse to change it, but C.S is king. Just make sure as usual that you network and do experiential learning, so you can shoot for the more fun roles in fields you like.
That's great. I still havent paid a cent towards college debt by being in the trades. I also make as much if not more than most grads...
The thing is trade careers aren’t only “working with your hands” jobs, im going to start technical school next year and I’m going to go for becoming a legal assistant which is office work for a lawyer and then I can study to become a paralegal if I like the job
@DDrummer very true, in IT certifications are the biggest way to get a job. If you have a degree like me, its usually for management positions.
I got a technical degree in high school as an emergency medical technician. I worked that job part time & full time after I graduated for 1 year (5 years total). I made more money than what I’m making now with my bachelors, but I see how a college degree can help you advance in the corporate ladder. Like you said, it’s up to everyone’s decision and what kind of job they want in the end. Great video 👏🏽
Well done Brandon. Despite being a university graduate myself, I concur that trade schools can be a fantastic alternative. In fact, I would go so far as to say it is in many ways superior to many of the "low tier" university degrees like humanities, liberal arts, and so forth. Trade schools are also very practically focused. This was something that was a deficiency for me when I graduated from university with an electrical engineering degree. I was shocked by how ill-prepared I was for the necessities of working in a corporation. Honestly, most of the skills I leveraged when entering the workforce were those that were self taught.
Let’s go Brandon! That’s awesome!
You must have graduated with Gender Studies and worked as an EMT in New York or San Francisco. There's no way an EMT earns more than a Bachelors. Lol
I recently paid an electrician $3k for some work & $6k to have a tree removed. There is so much $$ in trades & a lot of young people don't realize it.
@RENSA80 true
@RENSA80 especially injury
@RENSA80 yea. I almost got hit with a tree
@RENSA80 lol I'm a 17 and I'm interested 😏
Yeah those jobs aren’t good in terms of the long haul
I’m pretty adamant on dropping out of my History degree and pursuing HVAC lol so thanks for the video. Bit of a 180. I feel as though trade school gives you real skills you can use in the real world to fix real world problems which is why I’m attracted to it. Not rlly concerned about the pay. Don’t want to be in an office typing emails all day 👍🏼
People should do both.
Shane I love this. I'm going to a community College and transferring to a technical college to become a Radiation therapist. I give you credit for planting the idea in my head man but I'm going in pursuing an associates degree.
In the long run some college degrees does pay off, I do believe in both. I'm trade and also know diesel technicians that makes 80+ a year also know some diesel technicians that makes over 150k a year, but they surely do a lot of hours. I wonder if Shane would do a video to see what group of adults between college degrees or trade school, that is over 60yrs old owes student loans 85 Billion. Not sure if it pays off for them.
Trade schools make more in salary in comparison to those with bachelor's and certain type of master's degrees. I have heard from many tradesmen and women and they feel comfortable and secured. With Google and Amazon prioritizing trade skills over degrees, it's about time people turn to trade skills. What is life with a degree but no job or earning potential?
Good point
Excellent view
So this is a x factor when you pick up a trade. You know how to fix things especially in your trade. You likely end up picking up other basic skill sets. These skill sets mean you can do your own home or auto repairs. You will end up saving so much money being able to do the vast majority of your home repairs.
very informational! thanks.
Most trade schools in Australia are 4 years for your apprenticeship. Wages are low but assured by the government. We have TAFE = Technical & Further Education college. After 4 years the student is qualified as a Tradesperson or in Business. I started here in Accounting & then moved to university. But there are so many industries including hairdressers / technicians, advanced education. Most of these people pay a few thousand dollars a year, helped by employers / government.
It all depends on the degree and what you are interested in. I have IT certifications and a Comp Sci/Information Systems degree. The certs got me entry level positions, and the bachelor's are getting me up the ladder into management. The salary difference is amazing.
Where you make most of your money in the trades is in overtime, so you’ll be working long hours & working everyday basically. I started in the electrical trade when I finished high school (2019) & it isn’t my cup of tea. I wasn’t feeling the manual labor but we’re all different (: 👍🏽. Still have the job but leaving soon to start college
Same here. Went to community college for maintenance and soon realized how much these factories work you. My wife told me that she would support me to go back to school for something else and am now enrolled in online courses for software dev
Trade schools are really good when you are on a budget. And, you start your workshop after gaining a few years of experience. And then, depending on your skills, you are earning money. By the way, I really love your content Shane.
💯
What if we are not on budget?
@@NavW-or2rmThen go to a 4 years undergraduate program.
@@_AVIKCHAKRABORTYF basically Uni? Here in Aus we have only 3 yr undergrads
@@NavW-or2rm Not only in Australia but also in rest of the world. Exceptions are Canada and America. In majority countries, you will find three years undergraduate programs. But here, the story is quite different.
Trade school is a viable option for so many. I think we need the trades to come back!
Totally!
I am 16 and I go to a trade school for Comluter Tech (IT and Networking). It is called Buckeye Career Center and I can get college credits after graduating from there. I plan to use the credits for Computer Sciene!
It really depends on what your career choices are. I went to 2 trade schools and work in the HVAC and electronics field. Im honestly tired and burnt out from both fields and am wishing that I went to college instead of trade school. I’m actually planning on going to college so I don’t have to work in the trades anymore.
Hey man well at least you didn’t get into huge debt. It’s better to try out a trade first, then if you don’t like it go to college. At least now you know that you really want to go to college. There are people who don’t even want to go to college but feel pressured to do that straight out of high school. Then they get in debt
When I got out of high school, went to community college for Avionics degree, now going back soon for Electrical Engineering :).
Good luck!
Thank you!
I finished a tool and die training school when I was 20 and never landed a job. Granted, I gave up on the interviews fairly quickly and moved on. I know now the trades aren't for me, though I recognize their value.
Are you ever going to make a video on forensic science?
You could also first go to trade school and then continue the path studying a bachelors and if it is related to your trade then way better.
What would you say is the best route to take as an electrician? I am from the UK and it would be interesting to what steps I should consider taking as I am in my first year of college(trade school in america). Sweet video too perfect timing ahaha
I am at a technical high school right now great opportunity here I could graduate high school with a journeyman license.
Best of luck!
Wait in highschool
Engineering major so I only had to take 3 courses that weren't related to my major. [Not counting Foreign Language] Thankfully.
I tried going the trade route after highschool, two years in I quit to go for college at 20. Sites are disgusting, like who eats chips or portas and purposely tries making them as disgusting as possible. There is zero professionalism and many talk about being arrested as if it’s something to be proud of. I’m happy I left but miss the work because it was genuinely fun. I felt very out of place and judged there even if I took pride in my work and tried my best. There’s money to be made in it but, I just wish it wasn’t so toxic and unprofessional.
I am thinking about learning a trade and going to school at the same time. Is there a way to get financial aid for both at the same time?
hey shane can you make a video on best countries for higher studies
What if you get paid to go to school? Shout out to all the military vets in Texas, I get 1200 a month to go plus can finesse other things with Hazelwood so tuitions free. Would tht change anybodies opinion on college?
I'll stick and commit to college, because I refuse to yield in being an electronics engineer since it is significantly more science intensive than any trade school classes. Thus, my love for science being used by engineers is not going anywhere, no matter how significant setbacks are; be that financial pressure or failing difficult classes.
Awesome asmr fell asleep right away
My favorite trade is aviation mechanics if I could go back I would do that instead
Occupational Therapy Assistant and Physical Therapy Assistant. The best keep secrets of technical colleges.
How's the pay I'm trynna look for something short training that's not trade with decent start pay from 22
@@itsDjjayy Depending on region of course, but starting can be in the 40s to 50s from what I've seen and a while in can be anywhere from 50s to 60s, even seen some 70s and 80s for salary but not places we would live.

33k for trade school? I paid 6 grand to become a ticketed welder in 8 months, I call BS on that. Maybe depends on the trade tho I guess
Bro why did I think this was a college humor video
Hi Shane
The trade will always allow you to work while you finish school
Would a Mathematics degree be considered superior?
A mathematics degree is a far more broad qualification. With this you open up so many opportunities, but aren't funneled into a specific career path. A trade school is amazing for the specific given career, however fairly useless for anything else. I would always recommend the more broad option (the mathematics degree). Targeting a specific career is risky as you may not actually enjoy it. I was an apprentice electrician for 2 years and didn't enjoy it and am now studying a maths and economics degree. Ultimately you have to follow your own passions but the flexibility of a good degree shouldn't be underestimated.
@@GabeMcCarthy182 Thank you
I have a Mathematics degree and it hasn't really gotten me anywhere. I don't like being a teacher (I tried). I've been applying to entry-level data analyst positions with no luck. I even have online certifications and personal projects to showcase my skills. It's seriously frustrating. I'm seriously considering a trade (such as being an electrician). Also, I've worked in an office setting and it can get seriously boring.
Hi
Defeat the TH-cam algorithm.
Going to college is way better, than trade school. I know because I have done both. Trade school is great, but no one tells you that when you get sick, you are out of luck on earning money.
Exactly your body don't move you don't make money
I need a simple career not to complicated already finishing my associates but don't care for bachelor's
Some trades are just to hard on the body
True
Then get your body harder than the trade. Going to the gym often or using the right manual handling techniques. I know guys who was a bricklayer for 20 years and his body is still top notch. So it can be done.

Trades are alright but if u don't take care of your body by 30 you'll feel 50
There’s isn’t enough job mobility in trades. And most people aren’t interested in them. That’s why program enrollment is low. And y’all gotta stop worrying about peoples loans. People take out loans for trade schools too. Y’all are obsessed with college grads at this point. If you are doing well, do well. We don’t care.
That's true too
College debt is an increasing problem that will burst do not underestimate it. 1.7 trillion$ in debt is no joke.

Trades make much more than 50k. Especially if you're willing to travel. 80k for most entry level jobs in welding, electrical, diesel, fitting etc. Some of my HS friends were earning over 100k withing 3 years of graduation. Lots of hours, and manageable work physically. Many people working desk jobs aren't shining examples of good health physically or mentally, so there's that too
Not all trades make that mucb, some pay right around 40-50k especially when starting out which can be an even longer time if you need to do an apprenticeship
Trade school 👍
University 👎
A&P mechanic
Indoors and or outdoors
Hands on and eventually can be a desk job

@@DanielBMaximoff what's your trade
@@itsDjjayy Hit the gym and make your body tougher than your trade, then you should be able to do it way later than 50. Plenty of top level powerlifters in their 50s and 60s out there.
But I guess doing that is very tough for someone like you. I read some of your other comments, you sound like a soft and delicate boy who wants to spend all day inside on the computer in an air conditioned room, I mean if you are weak and prefer that then more power to you, but don't expect everyone else to be as fragile as you. Millions of people out there who are 10 times more physically capable than you.
World would be a much better place if everyone made the gym a part of their life.
@@Kaledrone dude if you understood what I said in my comments then you'll understand why it's not for me. I have done workouts at the gym and home on a daily basis, have done labor jobs, ran track I'm pretty active my guy but unlike you I think smarter not harder it's about to thinking for the long-term than the short-term.
I come from a blue collar family but went formal education after the military. I’d like to add that it is true that trades are not typically outsourced. But professionals that are good don’t get outsourced either.
One thing about trades is there are an influx of immigrants securing these jobs and unionizing. They are essentially circling their wagons and taking care of each other. Which is fine they’re free to do that. Typically though immigrants avoid formal education because they lack the education to compete.
So, keep in mind that you may have the skills for the job. But employers and clients are hiring labor that is cheaper. Professionals generally do not have this problem.
