Around here in my area, HAVAC, is where it's at. I saw two different companies looking for technicians and starting pay is $60-$70 a hour. Unless you're going to college to be a doctor or something for computers, college is a waste of time. A local young man got his degree in computer science and computer programming and he got a job working for Boeing. Lawyers, Pharmacist, those careers are pretty much filled up. Trade school is the best way to go such as HAVAC, electricians, etc, are always going to be in demand.
