That's just so true. My grandfather and father are/were electricians, and my brother opted to carry on with the tradition and become an electrician as well, and now at 27 he owns a house on some land (all my family still lives in the little town I grew up in, whereas I've moved to the big city), 2 vehicles, and makes big bucks. I didn't do the four-year degree route (although I do intend to get one someday just to prove I can), but I did go to college and now sort of work in a cubicle-farm type environment (although I'm lucky, I have my own office instead of a cubicle). If I could have, I think I might have tried to go into a trade, but for health reasons can't do work that involves a lot of physical labour.
