I love using the scrap 2x4s in carpentry to paint on

These are two separate pieces but they also kinda fit too

None of us are technicians/nurses in this volunteer group, so I asked @fractiousrvt for her input. This is the gist, plus what I know from the clinics where I have worked and volunteered:

Fun fact: you can still survive life without a bachelor’s degree! You gotta think a little bit outside the box, but it’s not as difficult as every parent makes it seem. There are more options than just this one, but this is a pretty wide topic with lots of opportunities that it deserves its own break down.

Technical/Vocational/Trade School

It’s basically in the name. This is where you go to learn a trade that helps the world and can get you a job for knowing. Some pros of a trade school include:

- Tends to be a lot less expensive than a four year degree

(A lot of high school districts also have a trade school connected to them that you can go to for free! If you haven’t heard of one in your area, check with your school and see if they have one if you’re interested)

- Doesn’t take as much time as four years

I see a lot of trades being learned in about two years, but some can pay you right away as you learn. It depends on what trade you’re learning

- Can pay you a lot

A lot of trades are jobs people usually don’t wanna do or don’t think about doing, like plumbing or working an ultrasound machine. And if you’re willing to do the job, they’re willing to pay pretty good

However, there are some cons to trade work:

- A lot of them tend to be very physically taxing.

Sure, jobs like welding and elevator work can pay a lot, but if you already have chronic pain/are disabled, it might be more than your body can handle. Even able-bodied welders get a lot of pain and problems after working in their field for so long. (I use welding as an example since it’s so popular, but welding isn’t the only trade with this problem.)

- Depending on what trade you want to get into, they may still require you at least get an associate’s degree (two years of college). There’s not much else to say on that one.

However, do some research on what trade you’re interested in! There are so many. I know kids training to work on wrecked cars, and I know kids training to be horse trainers. It’s not all “welding, plumbing, construction”, et cetera.
