40 ‘Cool Guides’ People Shared On This Group That Contain Information They Don’t Teach At School (New Pics)

We need them. Now! 😄 We do not have these cute pest controllers.

This should be higher up. We all have or will be in contact with someone with alzheimers.

That really made my day, just love this - especially the sentence at the bottom. 🙏

I had this realization on my own. I’m crap at maths, it was the best feeling!

I LOVE BEES!!!!

And if there has been abuse of any kind it may much longer to complete phase 3...

YES!!!

Took a 2yr tech course and ended up making more than friends who got a degree..

However - be careful of a profession that will ruin your body. You don't want to be a 45 year old auto mechanic that lives in constant pain and/or needs to figure out a new career at 45 yrs old.

I got a degree in Graphic Design. I now work for an insurance company. Contrary to the lie I was fed, a degree doesn't guarantee you your dream job.

I tried being a wind turbine. Arms got tired. And you don't want to know where they wanted to put the plug.

Last time I checked, you need professional training and college courses to be successful in a lot of these areas. Then again, in Canada college is what Americans call "trade school".

average welder after 2 years of school and 4 years of apprenticeship is 2k-3k a week in the US. Though earn about 1000 a week in those first 4 years of apprencticship. College is not for all, and it is a very elitist attitude.

I try to preach this all the time to people complaining about their student loan debt. If you don't have a rich mommy and daddy, go to a trade school first, start making bank, then enroll in college if that's the route you want to go. After 2 years of trade school, I was making almost 6 figures. All from a $9,000 education.

Enroll in a decent health care plan, most of these jobs are very hard on the body.

i try to be a plumber. i was 3 days at the school and drop out. it's not for everyone. i'm better with computer.

These wages seem too low. Is this in the USA ? Trades people in Australia are paid much more.

that's what they told us back in high school in the 80's. and then they changed the jobs. the only guys out of our tech school actually IN their techs? loggers and a few auto mechanics and body people. everyone else's skills were obsolete before we finished.

Plus the Australian government is trying to encourage more people in certain fields so there are plenty of free TAFE courses!

My son is in HVAC. Best decision we pushed him into. He didn't want to go to college and we weren't going to sit around and watch hm be a bum. One of his high school friends went to college. I don't know what his major was, but he is currently a barista

I went to college and have often thought that I would have enjoyed work so much more if I'd worked with my hands. I should have gone to a trade school that honestly interested me. I'm retired now, but it is something I think about sometimes.

I was shocked at how much R.N.'s make! Often just under $100 an hour or even more. It's a degree worth having and you can find work anywhere in the country.

well, here in Canada some of those trades are taken at a college in my town.

In Germany, one of (if not THE) least-paying job is hairdresser. No, wait - I think dental-technician (not dentist, but the people who make your fake teeth) makes less. But carpenter and plumber earn a hella lot more and are highly sought (as most trade-learned jobs)

The hairdresser line is exceedingly misleading. Starting out one is likely to just barely make minimum. You only make that kind of money if you run your own salon or work in a high-pay, high-demand region. And the hours are awful. Watched one of my stepdaughters get chewed up by this field.

While this is true, it's not entirely true. Many of those jobs DO require an education beyond high school, even though it's not college. And many of those jobs are much more physically demanding than the types of jobs you'll get with a degree, meaning you may not be able to work as many hours or years. As an example, my aunt owned her own salon, made good money too. Until the constant chemical exposure caused neurological damage and she was forced to close her salon and spend the last 20+ years on disability.

Cool, you don't need a degree to be a wind turbine!

This could be true, or it could be greatly inflated numbers promoted by local trade schools. These jobs are often hard labor. Some are also reduced in employment opportunity: carpentry is down to bare basics, not skilled artisans. Most of these jobs also now force workers to work for a corporation as a contractor, without good pay or benefits. It’s happening to every trade, including doctors. It USED to be the case that people could live well on these careers, and even be their own biases, but laissez-faire capitalism is literally destroying every opportunity or option for the masses in order to push the wealth up to the very top where it stays.

I've seen welder lower, like at 13.50 lower. Some companies will down grade pay of trades in a heartbeat, all places that I worked at did. Maintenance too.

Read a joke on Readers Digest many years ago, a woman talking to her friend about her 3 sons, Eldest had a major in history, middle one had a doctorate in philosophy, and the last one was a plumber. Friend felt sorry for the third one, and the woman said "Well... if it wasn't for him, well be all hungry"

Trade school is just a good if not better and you don't walk away owing a king's ransom in student loans. I know several people pulling near or over six figures who don't have degrees or got them long after they started making that kind of money. They had the skills and experience people wanted.

I had no idea I could have been a wind turbine — WHEEEEEEEEEEE!

I want to be wind turbines

Please Enroll in a Trade school.

I went directly to the offshore oilfield and started off making better money than my Federal government supervisor father. By the time my most ambitious classmates finished their professional degrees, paid their dues, and slowly entered their peak earnings years, I had already been there for decades. It destroyed my health, but I did get to retire at Fifty. There's a price for everything you get in this life.

What? Hairdressers earn that much in the US? In Germany that's a very low payed job.

ok I am confused isn't trade school college??? even if you apprentice you still need to do collage release for these jobs don't you??? Is us College the same as University???

Golden girls reference! Shady pines

So, not Amazon then

Yes! Direct the light to where it's needed. This doesn't just impede views of the night sky - poorly thought out infrastructure can put streetlights directly outside bedroom windows and blackout blinds can be expensive.

This is actually quite helpful.

Where's the educational flier for the police? 1. Do not violate a person's civil rights. 2. ....

Do not believe the so called “trusting” one, we all know it’s a trap.

This what millions of antivaxers are experiencing right now. They feel informed because they did internet research. Or because they are a nurse. Or because they know someone who backs up their opinion. They don't even know how much they don't know. To me, the scariest part of being in the US right now is how willing people are to take their opinion as a fact and use groupthink as a form of confirmation. Thousands of people who studied the subject for 8 years and currently work in the field are saying one thing while the other side has Timmy, the YouTube video maker talking to a guy that used to work at company and got fired is saying another. And somehow the thought process is the video is right. That is scary
