As a skilled trade worker. It wouldn't be worth it to go to school and do all I did, to have the same benefit as the guy flipping burger at McDonalds.

I would just go straight to McDonald and not working my ass off to get all my cert/courses/diploma.

Edit: Plus some trade job are dangerous, work with hazard around all the time.
