Why do people mention trade school as being cheap?

no they aren't cheap at all, no one is ever specific and acts like a "trade" is decently safe bet, and there is that image is SFW, no actual nudity

Having a trade lets you open your own business very easily to escape the wageslave life

>>1776627
no it really doesn't

>>1776630
Depends what the trade is.

what, plumbing?

Friend of mine is a plumber. He's about to leave his current company and start his own.

He'll easily clear $100k.

I asked him what he can pull on an emergency call (someone calls at 2am with a busted water pipe in their house). He said around $3k.

Holy shit I picked the wrong career.

Profiting from someone else's loss. May as well become a pimp.

ok but why do trade schools get recommended as far as cost? maybe I don't live around any crazy cheap ones but everything is at least 15-30 grand. It isn't like a programming bootcamp or something where if you don't get a job it's free.

They are that cheap. In South Carolina we get an enormous amount of funding from a state lottery tax, a full semester will run your about a grand if you make 30k a year.

>>1776676
ah, well in PA it isn't

>>1776664
Have you seen the price for a college education these days?

> You are very tired
> get a call at 2am
> Can you put your clothes on, get your work truck, drive 30 minutes to my house and work for 6 to 8 hours fixing an emergency situation that will require hard work?

I'd charge triple rate too.

$15k to $30k?

Where did you hear that? I'm not exactly sure but all my friends that did trades just started working right away. I think they occasionally had to take a class and pass a test. Nothing more than listening to a few lectures or something.

I'd be shocked if any of my trade buddies spent more than $10k on the red tape.

>he didn't get union sponsorship

Unless you wanted to eventually transform into a entrepreneur, you were dumb.
