I have a good friend who's son decided to skip college for a year after high school so he could earn some money first. Well the kid got a job for a concrete company and has made over $125,000 a year salary and benefits over the last 5 years!

He was smart enough to find a company doing "scale" work constructing state parking structures, gov office buildings, schools, hospitals, anything on state/federal property.

Now he takes community college business classes at night with plans to someday run his own company.


(from a taxpayer point of view I'm appalled he makes $48 an hour plus full benefits for a job that normally pays less than half of that but more power to him for working smart)
