I agree with your conclusion about doctors and Rn’s making more than techs. My point was you can go to tech school and make more than some fields that require a four year degree.Doctors however can’t do their jobs without techs. Techs do not cause medical prices to go up. The greed of the people who own the medical companies and insurance companies along with government mandates cause medical prices to go up.
Also, when my kids decided to go to college one of the requirements was that they show us on various job sites what actual job and what actual pay they could get with the degree. You have to research actual requirements.
There are tons of very successful people who never attended college and have a million or two in savings and loved their job their entire working career.
Ps when I need a mechanic I don’t care if has a mechanical engineering degree and his hourly rate is probably just as high.
