I tell every young person who will listen that a trade school is most often a much better investment than college. Our votech schools in Oklahoma are A+. I know this because I have taken welding classes at ours over the years. The instructors and my much younger classmates were top notch.

We need, for example, college educated doctors and engineers but we don't need a large percentage of the college graduates to keep the machine running. We need more plumbers, electricians, etc.

The college path is not for everyone and is getting less appealing every year with what's going on in the liberal cesspools now. It's what I needed for my desired career path and I also have no regrets.

But If kids these days want to improve their lot in life, with more education after high school, I would strongly suggest trade school. Skilled trades pay very well and they are really struggling to hire trained workers. Graduates get gobbled up quickly at great starting wages.
