Education "Trade" Off
In the land of opportunity, let me unfold,
A story about education, both new and old,
The college degree, once held so high,
Now shares the stage with a trade's blue sky.
In America's halls of learning and debt,
Some say a college degree doesn't always beget,
The lucrative future that once was foreseen,
While trade skills emerge as a golden sheen.
For in the trades, where skills are refined,
A different kind of success, one can find,
Electricians, welders, craftsmen so wise,
They build and create, beneath the open skies.
While college degrees may weigh like a stone,
Trade workers flourish in skills they've honed,
In the real world, where craftsmanship thrives,
A different path to success it derives.
The college degree, it's not to demean,
But student loans often feel like a scheme,
Trade workers, they find their worth in their hands,
As they craft and they build across the lands. Education "Trade" Off - P.
