NOTE

Value Skills Over Prestige

Pursuing a trade position can lead to significant financial rewards, with several jobs in this field, such as elevator mechanics and dental hygienists, offering salaries exceeding $75,000 annually. Despite societal perceptions that deem these roles as less glamorous, they provide a vital opportunity to escape poverty by acquiring in-demand skills. The average marketing graduate earns approximately $37,000, highlighting the disparity between perceived prestige and actual income potential. Committing to trade school may seem challenging and unglamorous for a short period of 6 to 24 months, but acquiring a valuable skill set ultimately equips individuals for stability and success, regardless of geographic location.
