[QUOTE="LarryBird, post: 4082850, member: 76548"] This is the truth. Go to a technical school and try to pick a path that is in an emerging technology, or in a field that can't be phased out by automation or artificial intelligence, which will be issues you're likely to face in your career given your age. Even if you can just get into a trade union, and you decide to pass on technical school, at your age it'd be awesome - you'll work as an apprentice while going to classes and working toward becoming a journeyman. All the union trades make at least comparable money to UPS, and some of them leave us in the dust. Electricians, pipe fitters, millwrights, and iron workers in particular do very well. You'll be a master of your craft before you're 30 years old, and you'll have a ton of options in life. There's gonna be a lot of work in those fields moving forward. Plus there's the added dimension of taking your trade and opening your own business down the road when you've got some experience and made some contacts and customers doing side work. There's really no cap to what you can earn in the trades if you're willing to hustle or take the risk of going out on your own. [/QUOTE]
