A couple of them are close friends. I can speak confidently as to their happiness. When I think about it, most of them are all late 50s to early 70s and are either retired or close to it, and those close to it don't work all the time. That's got much to do with the lack of misery

Maybe it’s generational differences. I come from a family of medical providers and have friends from college and professional contacts numbering over two dozen in the medical profession. I don’t know that it’s universal, but the overwhelming consensus is that they’re furious about the business of medicine. Get them talking about the business side and it comes out.

This! The problem is way too many people are of the mindset that a blue collar career is not "worth-while".

These trade schools, or at least the tech school here has 100% placement upon graduation into jobs making $25-40/hr. In smaller towns that have industry, a 50,000+ starting income is great for a 18-25 year old. That's what these guys want to do too.

Are college degrees not worth it because of wage stagnation and higher education costs, or are they not worth it based on some other criteria, in your opinion?

WAhe stagnation (due to increase workforce legal and illegal), education cost (no explanation needed), I think the gov regulates industry to much that innovation as slowed to a dull crawl... politicalization of everything in sight. Many other things as well .just add up to 100k I'm debt with nothing to show is not a good choice.

I have a lot of colleagues/friends that are doctors and they share similar opinions to what you mentioned in this post. Having a good paying job alleviates many issues in life but it doesn't guarantee happiness.

My HS, one of the smallest in the state of VA had one heck of a vocational training dept. In the electrician program you could graduate and only have 6 months to a year left to get your journeyman's license, ASE mechanics certification, welding certification a cosmetology license and I think a couple more trade certifications. Now we didn't have much in the way of computer (1980s) or foreign language departments but we had the basics.

Which of the careers I mentioned earlier do you think is tangibly impacted by an illegal workforce?

100% Trump harps for this for weeks, if not months, to deflect from his failed leadership and the Epstein debacle he has been sweating for months. Im sure its nothing though.

Trump isn't sweating the Epstein files. Those were explained years ago and the main girl that was the star witness and wrote a book said point blank the Trump was not involved. It's the 2025 version of Russia Russia Russia. Plus no Democrat can explain how Biden and the Dems had control of those same files and never released stuff on Trump. They sued him every way they could, tried to assassinate him twice but sure they sat on incriminating evidence against Trump prior to the election. What a gullible person one would have to be to believe that.

As for failed leadership, he ended 8 wars so far, has an all time high stock market, shut the border, deported many illegals, made trade more fair with tariffs and cut taxes including no tax on tips. And it's only year 1!

Lol. You're literally wrong on each one of those. Stop believing everything Foxnews/Trump says bro. Stock market hits all time highs with literally every president... And deporting many illegals? Guess who did WAY more? Obama. *ouch*

Yes, Trump is sweating THE F out of the Epstein files. Its probably Al Capones vault all over again, but Dozy Don is sweating so much his spray tan is running like Giuliani's hair dye.
