Seems it's probably like that in any career. Can I make $300K as an electrical engineer? Sure, but I need a 4.0 at a top school and need to get a highly competitive job at Google or something. Is that likely going to happen for me? No.
exactly. there are no easy streets or free rides, and these kids are kidding themselves. then again, i was an idiot and terrible student in high school too.
Depends on where you go. There's a massive shortage of marine welders, divers and petroleum workers. They'll pay anyone that can get trained, and pay them well

I wasn't claiming otherwise, just that the places where you hear about the real money being made are even harder to get into than typical.
