It’s depends on the person.
From my experience, those trades will pay you more on the front end, but you’re likely to be working longer hours in the outside elements and possibly in dangerous environments on occasion as well.
Those master electricians and plumbers get paid, but that ish is back breaking work too and you got to be present to get paid. A lot of those men and women working weekends and holidays 12-14 hour plus workdays. There usually isn’t PTO, sick time in those professions.
Those white collar jobs usually give you PTO, sick time, insurance, and some type of retirement plan. You aren’t doing back breaking work in the elements either.
For most people the degreed profession will be the better long term play; however, I understand college isn’t for everyone. For those youngsters that are better working with their hands I’d absolutely suggest the trade labor or going to the military.
As another breh in here mentioned, the academically average to stronger youngsters, I’d suggest college. It’s not a one size fits all though and as I said college isn’t for everyone. All degrees are not made the same either. A law degree, pharmacy degree, MD degree, and a few others will hold more weight than a liberal arts degree or an English degree.
