Hi Horgad,

With housing doing well, it is very hard to find a skilled trade that is not very busy.

In my high school, few went on to college. Some went on to skilled trade apprenticeships.

Many were small farmers, who sold off their herds, as farming became a vastly larger scale than their parents had enjoyed.

Now a large percent have become factory workers, (a lucky few went to Kohler) and now have viable pensions combined with 401K's. Their lifestyles are far from extravagant, but enjoyable in this conservative community German heritage.

College opens a door to opportunity, but does not assure success. One still needs to find passion with work to really make it. imo
