Employment expert weighs in on how Skilled Workers fare Vs. College Grads<\/em><\/p>\n

\"College\u201cWe have this idea in our society that a college degree is the gateway to financial freedom and success, says Rob Wilson, employment trends expert and President of Employco USA. \u201cBut the statistics don\u2019t necessarily bear that out. Most college grads end up moving home after graduation to live with their parents, and it takes several months or more<\/a> for them to find a job. In many cases, that job won\u2019t be in their field of interest, and these young people end up spending a good chunk of their paycheck paying off their hefty student loans.\u201d<\/p>\n

In contrast, Wilson says that skilled trade workers<\/a> make $50,000 a year (similar to a new college graduate\u2019s annual salary), and they have around $2,500 in student loan debt<\/a> as opposed to $37,000.<\/p>\n

Wilson says, \u201cGetting a 2-year degree can be a very smart move for many Americans. Baby boomers are retiring in droves, and as they do so, they will be leaving many of their jobs in skilled trades like carpentry and electrical work. Companies will need trained workers to replace this staff, and those few that can fill these positions will be in high demand. Alternatively, a college graduate with a degree in communications will be competing with millions of other equally qualified and motivated young people with similar degrees.\u201d<\/p>\n

So does Wilson think a college degree is not worth the debt?<\/p>\n

\u201cIt really depends on your goals,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cSome careers certainly will require a 4-year degree. However, the reality is that we need skilled workers in this country, and companies are willing to pay good money to get that. Some will even pay for your training\u2026meaning you can actually get paid to learn invaluable job skills that will look good on your resume no matter what career you end up choosing.\u201d<\/p>\n
