Two examples to boot.Not really. You don't need a degree to be a plumber, do you? And plumbers make excellent money.That wasn't the claim, was it?
Well, consider what he said in this post.

He's pushing the idea that college doesn't achieve success with the qualifier that it's not true in all cases. While there are some occupations where college wouldn't make a lot of difference, do you generally talk down college to a high school kid looking for career advice? God, no. To suggest it's a hindrance, as he did, is crazy.
You said:
Skilled trades make very good money. No degree required.Trying making decent money legally without one. There may be exceptions, but it's not the rule. Even kids still in school know that.
BMW certified mechanics (not a degree or college program) make over 120k a year.
Railroad Engineers (16 week course) Earn 120k+ after 4 years and go up from there.
