My home state ha FREE tuition to tech schools for high school graduates. I know people who have gone and become a full range of jobs - hospital machine mechanics, MRI techs, dental hygienist, LPN, welders- all ended up making more than I did with my four year degree as a teacher and I made more than my friend the four year degree social worker. None of the tech people had deal with irate people or take work home after hours or on weekends. We need all levels of education and all types of skills. There is a lot to be said if you you enjoy your job you never have to go to work.
