I have no "higher education". Went to trade school, worked as a machinist, a farm hand, a welder, a fork lift driver, and various other forms of "blue collar" labour. Currently work for a company that installs industrial garage doors.
This was in norway, so might be different in other countries. But is was good. First year was a kind of general "mechanics" thing where we'd learn the basics of engine maintenance/repair, machining, welding, sheet metal work, etc. And some electronics as well. Second year we'd specialize, and I went for machining. Third year was a paid apprenticeship.
I've genuinely enjoyed every job that this education has gotten me. We don't all have to be academics.
There really is something about creating a physical product with your own hands and thinking "this is going to help someone" or "someone is going to enjoy this" or whatever.
dude that's hectic. When the apocalypse happens you'll do better than me- wasting my life pressing black and white keys on a music box to teach rich kids how to play baby shark.

thats good to know!
Are you thinking of getting into "blue collar" work?
yeah, I don't want to sit at a desk forever, I like to be active and doing things.

That shit is important. It matters.
