I went to trade school and became a machinist.
Math and science are my forte and was no challenge, all the other courses, beside art, were of no interest. 

There are no machine shops were I live now so I do carpentry and painting.  

 Nice! Trade school is a great alternative that I wish I knew about in my early years. 

 I tested and got accepted by the National Tooling & Machinig Association and got paid to go to trade school. I was all over that! 😂 And graduated top of class.  

 Meanwhile people take on 6 figure debt that they can’t default on in order to study the philosophy of tampons 

 It's insanity.
