Why Students Want to Skip Getting a Bachelor's Degree and Go to a Trade College

“You have so much more potential than that.”  “Don't you want to make more money?”  “It would be a waste of your intelligence.”

Many advise against learning a trade, instead advocating for four-year college degrees. However, what many do not realize is that the times are changing. The Wall Street Journal's article titled “Why an Honors Student Wants to Skip College and Go to Trade School” showcases the struggle of Ms. Raelee Nicholson. She has been fighting the stigma of trade degrees to follow her passion of becoming a diesel mechanic. Stories like hers are becoming all too common.
