WRONG.*most* Degrees are *mostly* a rite of passage. A lot of people won't even consider you if didn't go to college.

But you can in fact get jobs related to your field if you do a bachelor's in engineering.

PhD in groundskeeping here.
I don't know why high school graduates try to apply for these jobs; you need to at least have a masters degree in "fields" AND in the field of "groundskeeping" (if you have to ask what the difference is, you're not gonna make it)
Have fun recovering from decompression sickness OP while I'm outside enjoying the nice day and chatting with jogger MILFs before banging them in the restrooms. Yeah whenever those bathrooms are under "maintenance" what's really going on is that your mom is getting dicked hard in the restroom. And in the end I always finish the whole thing up by urinating on them. MILF housewives are so desperate and emotionally stunted. I think I might have even fathered a few children that way. One bitch even told me she wanted to get back at her husband for cheating on her by having me knock her up so he'd have to raise another kid that wasn't even his.

Ahhh you can indeed weld underwater dingus.

Look fellas. When you understand what education is really about when people say money, it's not about it being in your pocket.
College, university, trade programs and all the like get government funding. For every student that completes a program that means more money from the gov.
Why does the gov pay schools for grads? Well because now this grad will enter the workforce and begin paying taxes.
Anybody that's good at what they do, usually dosent have an education. And if they do, it has NOTHING to do with their careers.
Enjoy playing the meme.

My community college welding classes were all filled with niggers/beaners and me, the only white kid at the time.

It’s literally shit tier work. The listings were all for dumpster welders or some 12/hr bullshit.

I have worked as welder and you DON'T want to do this.
1. Constant noise even with mufflers
2. Back pain, feet pain
3. You constantly have to deal with Chinese steel that is unweldable and it's on you to make it work even if it's not possible for it to work, often you'll have to pay for "damages" which are caused by scummy steel quality.

Not recommended.
