Not everyone is cut out for college
Going to college is a big deal now.
It seems like everyone is pursuing higher education.
What about the blue collar work like technicians, handymen and plumbers? Where are the people who are good with their hands? Not everyone is set for college life and abel to afford it. Not everyone is smart enough and talented enough too. Not every person can be a doctor, lawyer or scientist. Sometimes you have to do what you are capable of, not what you want. I knew I was not meant to be a doctor. I decided to be a nurse instead. I worked at the local hospital for just about six weeks. In that time I saw some things that changed my life. I started working there in the summer, plus the medical facility was so old it didn’t have any air conditioning at all. In the doctor’s offices they had window AC units mounted. In the general rooms for patients, they had no temperature control at all. This made the hospital a pretty moist site. It was constantly warm, humid, with poor air quality. This is eventually changed what I wanted to do in life. I decided to leave my nursing job to be a Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C technician. I was meant for working with my hands rather than the medical field. I am more talented with handling AC machines than I ever was with the patients. It is such a good fit for me. I think schools should focus more on making sure kids get in the field they are best at.
