When in high school and throughout growing up we’re asked what we want to be when we grow up. For many, the idea changes but for some the idea is set in stone. But for those people who ideas change, college is not the only road to an upper education. Another road being is attending a trade school.

What is a trade school you ask? A trade school is a school in which people usually attend when getting training for a specific trade or, serving an apprenticeship. Once done with a vocational program an award certificate is presented to you for that specific skill you have acquired.

The trade schools present many different trades for people to acquire but most popular trades being pharisaical training, real estate, cosmetology, Dentistry, Criminal Justice, Culinary Arts, licensed vocational nurse, web design and Fashion. Trade schools are a great alternative for people who don’t want to go to college but still want to acquire a proper education.

So for anyone that said college was a must for a higher upper education was wrong. There are dozens of specific trades waiting for those whose dreams inspire them to a non-college education path.
