14. If it has tripled
and if the person stays in engineering.

I think the point is that sometimes you have to think outside of the box. College is associated as the "be-all and end-all" way of making a good career and overall good life for yourself.

Do I support education? You bet your bippy I do. The problem is that it really isn't for everyone and that there should be some respect shown for the trades.

If I were 19 again I'd consider training in electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, etc, instead of what is now considered the "traditional" route. I'd be better off now.
