Reminds me of his advice, Dad says all the time "some jobs are easy to outsource to another country, but eventually sh*t breaks- can't out source repairs and installations."
I went to a technical college, never paid a thing. Hope scholarship here in GA and FAFSA. My daughter is going this year and I am sure it won't cost her anything either. I don't earn lots of money but there are people with degrees having to work where I work now and they are making the same as I am.
