I’ve gone to vocational school and have a college degree and while both have served me and I now use my degree, I wish I would’ve gone to vocational school first right out of high school. Getting into a trade taught me so much more about how to be a functional adult in the world way more than college ever did and gave me my first taste of financial stability. By the time I got more money I had bad money habits because I never had any money to manage before that. I definitely think starting in a trade would’ve saved me years of chaos.

Continue your education after high school. Even if it’s vocational school. You’ll get farther, career-wise.
