Listen up, graduating high school seniors: In today’s world, except for STEM disciplines, most college degrees are a huge waste of money and your time. A plumber, an electrician, an HVAC technician and other skilled tradesmen make darn good money and don’t carry a heavy debt load. They can have a family, buy a house and a car, and go on vacation every so often. Think about it.
