I think this guy is talking out of school. The statement he made about people with a degree is just not true. People in the trades provide more jobs. Some of those jobs are high paying jobs. Some of us are not equipted to get a degree. We will always need people who to provide services. Builders,plumbers,electricians and hvacrs are just a few. People with a degree may start at a higher pay but it is the grunts that keep things running.
