If you're going to college to just get a certain job so that you can be safe and secure financially, then I would suggest a trade school. Of course unless you want to be a: doctor, teacher, engineer, or similar. College is designed to open doors and broaden horizons. . . or at least that's what it used to be (some still are) until the corporate overlords realized they could use them to print money.
The construction unions are nepotistic trump worshiping white supremisist cesspits….lol I know I’m back in college after 15 years in the trenches. It’s bad bad like union officers putting nooses and writing kkk on black apprentices stuff, it’s like female apprentices getting sexually assaulted bad lol. It’s bad
Pfft not everyone lives in dystopian US.
Here in sunny Australia, they're run by underworld figures and bikie gangs.
well the thing is, the employers actually cut corners because they dont want to train a fresh graduate in whatever field you are in, they dont want to pay too much, and they are lazy to train you from the ground up(aka apprenticing). hence why you see all these listings as 2+years and skills you never heard of for low-level jobs in your fields. ALso stem employers love H1B visa holders over domestic students. trade schools is not for everyone, mayb if you began after HIGH SCHOOL it might be preferrable, but if your older with some conditions, it might be more difficult.
also some stems have a significant preference/geared towards a specific gender too(as in actual help to get into field).
