I think it was around 15 years ago but definitely after the 2008 financial crisis that boomers just did a 180 and started telling White kids that college was stupid and they should learn a trade instead.

This is after spending the last 30 years preaching college as the only way you can get anywhere in life.

You're literally going to be working at Mcdonalds for the rest of your life if you don't go to college. Thats what they told us.

I'm not American, but I can offer some advice: learn everything you think might be useful and divide your knowledge into two areas:
A) Modern highly skilled work: use your knowledge.
B) Traditional highly skilled/medium and low-skilled work: use all your skills and learn when practical office work exists, such as plumbing, electrical work, cleaning, repairs, agriculture, etc. In any crisis, it's best to know how to do everything; it's better to know how to survive and thrive in the face of the unknown. (Worst-case scenario)
