Ever Think of a Trade?


I was told that in the next few years if a person enters a good trade like plumbing or electrical tehnician is concerned he will be able to afford living next to a doctor in a well to do neighbourhood and have money left over for a second home in the country just like that doctor. So for those of you who would play down the opportunities left out there while you are working for just above minimum wages at slave driving call centers with nom opportunity to get ahead consider the alternative: a handsome trade. There was nothing wrong with it when my relatives came over from Europe and excelled in the garment trade and there should be no onus today!One doesn't have to go to through a university degree program to be financially independent in the future. Just look at the the diplomas gained by graduates of the accounting program at President Kennedy in Rosemount as an example. After one year a student will be able to manage depreciaiton reports, do income tax and perform other accounting funtions on hos own or through an accounting firm if he choses. He won't be a CPA, but hey in this age of increased educational costs, doing this program at just $75.00 a semester is bound to attract individuals good with figures. And the school provides the book! Naturally if you're already a graduate, you'll want to go onto a masters or higher, just the same it is good to know that for many high school students who see the future as bleak, there are educational opportunities out there and jobs to fill!!
